The Biography of REARVIEWMIRROR

Close your eyes and you'll think you're there, Seattle 1991….. The birth of a sound.
As the tones of Alive and Evenflow fill the room, you will remember how you felt when you first heard Ten! As you hear the classic songs - Jeremy, Daughter, Betterman and Elderly Woman- you will remember what Pearl Jam is all about…the music

Rearviewmirror is Ontario’s tribute to Pearl Jam! 5 musicians have come together with one common goal: to recreate the music of Pearl Jam. The high energy live shows, filled with classic songs, keep the crowds dancing and singing along, making everyone feel like they're part of the show. With over 15 years of music to draw from, there is no shortage of material, add to that a few cover tunes, and you’re sure to have an evening of live music you won’t soon forget.
Rearviewmirror is committed to giving their all with every show they play.... in every city... in every town...in every nightclub or private function.

The band is comprised of some of the most experienced, professional and reliable musicians in the nation.

Band Members

rearviewmirror is:

Drums – Stu Reid as Matt Cameron 
Gigging since he was 16 years old, playing in bars he wasn't old enough to be in, this drummer is influenced by the styles of Neil Peart, John Bonham and Tommy Lee, his overall style is very similar to Pearl Jam's own Matt Cameron. 
Other projects he is involved in can be found here:

(yeah, he is really big in Japan)

Lead/Rhythm Guitars/Vocals – Bruce Armstrong as Mike McCready 
Bruce can't remember which guitars he uses. He uses whatever amps she's willing to carry, and pink thin picks with little stickmen printed on them. He's got lots of pedals but only really uses the tuner, despite the fact that he thinks it has crappy tone. He prefers Eveready batteries, but only when they are down to 6.2 - 7.7 volts. He has a Big Bertha driver, Callaway Irons, and prefers ProV1 or Callaway balls with extra long wood tees. He uses Elixer strings, only because the name sounds like "he licks her".

Bass/Vocals – Paul Luis as Jeff Ament 
Paul is one of the best unsigned bass players in Ontario. Paul's groove and feel are infectious, and his approach to Jeff Aments style is sure to shake the foundations of any room we play.

Rhythm/Lead Guitars – Andrew Lai as Stone Gossard
After spending many years as a vampire, recording music and collecting comics, Andrew has finally left his lair to bring his musical genius to the stage.

Vocals – Shane Boone as Ed Vedder 
Shane was one of the first to see the light, getting a Stickman tattoo before many people had even heard of Pearl Jam.  Seeing them at Lollapalooza ignited a passion for live music that still runs through his veins.  His high energy live show, and Vedder-like vocals, will leave you satisfied.
