Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard Debuts New Music from
Forthcoming Solo Project Exclusively Online Sept. 17th

Digital Music and Videos Launched in Conjunction with
Timberland’s DIG IT Campaign in Celebration of
Environmental Activism through Music

Stone Gossard and the Hank Khoir plus Special Guests to Perform at Eco-Themed
Concerts in Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco in October


SEATTLE — Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard is set to release exclusive new music from forthcoming solo project online beginning today, September 17th at http://www.pearljam.com/stonegossard. Gossard’s digital release helps to kick-off Timberland’s DIG IT campaign; a multi-city initiative bringing together eco-minded, activists and artists for daylong re-greening efforts and a nightly musical celebration with Stone Gossard and the Hank Khoir (featuring notable Northwest artists Barbara Ireland and the Roy Kay Trio) along with special guests in Boston (October 1, 2008), New York (October 4, 2008), Los Angeles (October 11, 2008) and San Francisco (October 18, 2008).

Scheduled for release later this fall, Stone Gossard’s new music project marks his second solo effort following his 2001 debut album, Bayleaf. A founding member of Pearl Jam, Gossard has had a successful music career spanning two decades, during which he has been a part of numerous collaborations including Brad, Temple of the Dog, Mother Love Bone and the early alternative pioneers Green River.

A committed environmentalist, Gossard has also used his influence to effect change locally and internationally through direct involvement in many environmental and socially conscious issues. His work to this end has included support of such organizations as The Wild Salmon Center, The Cascade Land Conservancy, Conservation International and People for Puget Sound along with spearheading Pearl Jam’s Carbon Portfolio Strategy. Timberland’s DIG IT campaign allows Gossard the unique opportunity to combine his music and activism by sharing new material with eco-minded fans and raising awareness on these important re-greening efforts.

Going Digital
Beginning September 17th, streaming live music videos along with downloadable audio tracks of Gossard’s new music will be available online at http://www.pearljam.com/stonegossard, a newly launched site that will be an ongoing resource for Stone Gossard’s music and special projects. The initial release will include one live music video, a corresponding audio track and a studio track with subsequent live video and audio tracks added each week leading up to the October 1st kick-off of Timberland’s DIG IT. Additionally, streaming versions of both the videos and audio tracks will be available on Timberland’s EarthKeeper website (http://www.earthkeeper.com).

Banding Together: Timberland’s DIG IT Concerts
Following daylong re-greening events in each city, Stone Gossard will perform an exclusive Timberland DIG IT concert with special guests that include The Hank Khoir and Vince Mira. "I am excited about the opportunity to not only share my new music with all the hardworking Dig It volunteers, but to see first-hand what Timberland and American forests can achieve in each of these cities." said Stone Gossard. "We are all going to roll-up our sleeves to make a difference, and a have a great time doing it."

In appreciation for their community service, tickets to Timberland’s DIG IT evening concerts will be offered to local volunteers from the daytime tree planting events. A limited number of tickets will also be provided to consumers who purchase products from the Timberland Apparel collection and Timberland’s new Earthkeepers line through Macy’s.

To aid in global conservation efforts, a limited number of tickets will be available for purchase via the Pearl Jam Ten Club (http://www.tenclub.net) with proceeds going to Conservation International. Conservation International’s mission is to conserve the Earth's living heritage, global biodiversity, and to demonstrate that human societies are able to live harmoniously with nature. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning Wednesday, September 24 at http://www.tenclub.net.

Community Re-Greening
For the daytime community greening events, Timberland will partner with American Forests, the non-profit organization focused on planting trees for environmental restoration and pioneering the science and practice of urban forestry. Timberland and American Forests will enlist approximately 200-300 volunteers to help plant trees in each city with the aid of local partners. Each organization will target an environmentally neglected area in their city and plant trees, clean sites, and educate neighbors about the importance of maintaining these new green spaces in their communities.

    Just purchased...Disappointed.

    Lyrics caught me off guard and have me showing bitter beer face.

    "I dreamt that I struck you three times in the face. An open hand that was not nice. You knelt alone in a darkened room..."

    ???????????? Meh. Wish I liked it more.

    I watched the video...nice! Kinda folksy, easy to listen to, and I really like Stone's singing. The "Sentimental journey" at the end was a nice touch :) Barbara (I think?) has a beautiful voice!

  • Nice song. For some reason, the melody makes me think of Neil Young. The lyrics are kind of weak, especially if you make the inevitable EV comparison. But overall I like it.

    how about matt's latest album? i'm so disapointed with you acc! :(

    j/k
  • Tone finally came, I've been in a Jeff state of mind all day, then I stop by and see this...have mercy, my darlings! :)

    Song caught me off guard first time, missed "I dreamt" and when I heard the first line, I thought this was going to be tongue in cheek and I laughed like I did when I heard the first line of Bee Girl for the first time, then the song continued, and I stopped laughing...have to admit, I was upset by the lyric first time I heard it, frankly, been on the receiving end too many times to envision a guy that I think is the bee's knees doing it...got over it, natch, beautiful song and I get the lyric now, but it pushed a button it wasn't even aiming for at first. You have to be SO careful...

    Stoney gets big props not only for the music, but for this regreening project, the whole effort, and now having his own page here on the site...you go for it, sweetie!!

    I was thinking Neil as well. I like it. A bit different, but I like it.
