Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament Unleashes Visual Memoir with Epic Book Tour

In a thrilling celebration of art and music, Pearl Jam's legendary bassist Jeff Ament is teaming up with his brother, designer Barry Ament, to launch his visual memoir, 'Since Forever', hitting shelves on September 25. This is not just a book; it's a visceral journey through the heart and soul of one of rock's most iconic bands, as well as a testament to the creative bond between two brothers.

Jeff and Barry will be hitting the road with nine exclusive events across the U.S. and London, making notable stops at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and London. Each stop will feature intimate conversations moderated by special guests, diving deep into the creation of 'Since Forever', the duo’s collaborative history, and the raw stories behind the stunning visuals.

What sets 'Since Forever' apart is its treasure trove of more than 250 black-and-white photographs—most of which have never seen the light of day. Captured mostly between 1990 and 1998, these images chronicle life on the road, the backstage frenzy, and the quiet moments in between shows, all paired with Jeff's candid reflections. This project began as an effort to salvage Jeff's aging negatives but evolved into a profound visual diary that encapsulates creativity, brotherhood, and the relentless spirit of life on tour.

Jeff Ament, who helped shape the Seattle sound and whose impact on rock culture is undeniable, is no stranger to the creative landscape. With a resume that boasts collaborations in bands like Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog, he has always been a driving force in music. His art extends beyond the stage, as he’s also instrumental in building skateparks across Montana, creating safe havens for youth to express themselves through skateboarding.

On the design front, Barry Ament has been the mastermind behind Pearl Jam’s visual identity, crafting everything from album art to concert posters for over 30 years through his studio, Ames Bros. Their lifelong collaboration, rooted in childhood creativity, has blossomed into a powerful artistic partnership that continues to inspire.

Don't miss your chance to grab a piece of rock history; 'Since Forever' is available for pre-order now and will hit select independent bookstores on September 25, 2026. For ticket information on the upcoming events, check here.
