Eddie Vedder, born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1964, is the baritone and the primary lyricist behind Pearl Jam, the voice that turned private wounds into arena-sized choruses. Before he had a band of his own, he sang as a guest with Temple of the Dog, the tribute to the late singer Andrew Wood.
He took his time going solo. His first album on his own was the soundtrack to the 2007 film Into the Wild, a spare, windswept set built around acoustic guitar that stripped his voice back to the grain: "Society" and "Hard Sun" have been fixtures on rock radio's countdowns ever since. Ukulele Songs, in 2011, was exactly what it sounds like, a gentle little record of him and that four-stringed instrument, released alongside the live DVD Water on the Road.
Earthling, in 2022, cranked things back up, with "Long Way" and "Brother the Cloud" among its highlights, and in 2024 he covered the English Beat's "Save It for Later" for the TV series The Bear. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted him with Pearl Jam in 2017, and readers of one major rock magazine ranked him 7th on a list of the best lead singers of all time.
