Jeff Ament and Barry Ament with Jonathan Evison
About the event
For decades, Pearl Jam founding member and bassist Jeff Ament has photographed the people, places, and moments that inspire him. A few years ago, he began working through his archive with his brother, acclaimed designer Barry Ament. Their efforts led to Since Forever, a deeply personal visual journal of creativity, friendship, and life on the road.
Drawn largely from previously unreleased images, the collection offers a rare and intimate look at the formative years of Pearl Jam as they evolved from a small group of friends into one of the most influential bands of their generation. From backstage and in the studio to the countless miles between stages, Ament’s photographs capture candid moments of creativity, camaraderie, and the enduring relationships that helped sustain the band through its meteoric rise.
At once a visual memoir and a behind-the-scenes chronicle, the book reveals how relationships, travel, joy, and need contribute to the creative process. Since Forever reveals Ament’s unique perspective as both participant and observer of a defining time period in music and American culture.
