Summary
Jeff Ament is turning his bassist spotlight into skate park revolution in Montana, targeting remote communities and every Native American reservation by year’s end—with construction starting next week on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. Beyond ramps, he sees skateboarding as transformative art for youth, especially Indigenous kids, spotlighted in his original-scored documentary “Paving the Way,” premiering at Tribeca and featuring skater Alishon Kelly. Meanwhile, Pearl Jam gears up for their first show since Matt Cameron’s exit, headlining Ohana in September, testing a new drummer live before diving into studio work next year.
