It looks like Vice President KAMALA HARRIS’ husband Doug Emhoff is a huge PEARL JAM fan, and even got to take home one of EDDIE VEDDER’s iconic tambourines.

Patch Rubin recently revealed that one his customers commissioned a guitar to give it to Vedder as a gift. He said that he added a Koa top and it was gifted to the Pearl Jam frontman. The caption read:
“I didn’t go but got to be part of a cool thing earlier this week at Pearl Jam’s night 2 in Fenway. A customer who has become a friend over the years commissioned a guitar to give as a gift to Eddie Vedder. I added a Koa top because Ed spends a lot of time on Maui. This is also a sister top from the same board for the Maui Relief Guitar.
More often than not a Pearl Jam show is blasting in my shop. What an incredible career and catalog these guys have built. I’m eternally grateful for that. And also beyond stoked that I got to be a part of this!”
Pearl Jam is one of the world’s biggest and they are well-respected rock groups. Now, in a rare extensive interview with correspondent Anthony Mason, Eddie Vedder and bass player Jeff Ament talked about the band’s founding, being together for nearly 35 years, their latest album, and more for “CBS Sunday Morning,” to be broadcast Sunday, September 22 on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
Mason caught up with Pearl Jam while on tour for a revealing, personal look, in which Vedder and Ament talk about their childhoods, making music together, their dedicated fan base, being on tour, growing older, and their friendship.
EDDIE VEDDER: I was doing those midnight shifts security. So, when I went for a surf in the morning … I remember it being super foggy and one of those days where you think, ‘Maybe I won’t go out.’ … But I had the music in my head, the instrumental, and just kind of wrote it. And then, I was still wet when I hit ‘record.’
ANTHONY MASON: When you heard what he sent back, what did you think?
JEFF AMENT: I listened to it. And then I remember I left and went and got a coffee, and then I came back, and I listened to it again. … And then I remember calling Stone [Gossard] and I said, ‘You need to come over here right now.’
Ament, and guitarists Stone Gossard, and Mike McCready flew Vedder up to Seattle to audition.
VEDDER: It was just, I was like, you felt it. Like, you were like, ‘Oh, this is what it is. Like, this is heaven.’”
