Jeff Ament - Bass
BIO: Former member of Deranged Diction, Green River, Mother Love Bone & the super group Temple of the Dog
Jeff is an excellent artist who creates, with his brother - as 'Ames Bros.', many of the best-loved and most familiar Pearl Jam artwork. Has a side band 'Three Fish' which is influenced by his interests in Sufi poems. Born and raised in the state of Montana, Jeff moved to Seattle where he hooked up with Stone Gossard. Went to a school of graphic design. In my opinion is one of the most underrated bassists in rock.
Stone Gossard - Guitars

Stone has built a recording studio - Studio Litho - and also runs a record label called Loosegroove Records, along with a partner.
