Jeff Ament Announces 'Since Forever' Photo Book

Born from an effort to rescue deteriorating 1990s film negatives, the book pairs more than 250 largely unseen black‑and‑white images with the bassist’s personal reflections.

Overview

  • The announcement, made Tuesday, opened preorders on PearlJam.com and set the book to arrive at select independent bookstores on September 25, 2026.
  • Ament and his brother Barry began the project by restoring failing 30‑year‑old negatives, and Barry suggested sequencing the archive into a published volume.
  • Since Forever is a 9-by-12‑inch hardcover that collects over 250 photographs mostly shot between 1990 and 1998 and includes Ament’s short essays and observations.
  • Jeff and Barry Ament will discuss the book on the Storytellers Stage at Ohana Festival on Sept. 25 and Sept. 27, with additional city events to be announced.
  • The collection offers a behind‑the‑scenes record of Pearl Jam’s early years that preserves fragile film, gives fans rare access to mostly unseen images, and reflects Ament’s long work as a musician and visual designer.
