This 18-year-old’s dream came true when he got to be Pearl Jam’s drummer for the night at a recent show!
Matt Cameron tested positive for Covid-19 recently, causing him to be absent during a recent show, but Kai Neukermans donated his time and talents for the evening.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle,
“He initially offered his services to Pearl Jam by texting Eddie Vedder’s daughter, Olivia. (The two had met previously at her father’s Ohana Fest). Neukermans, who drums in a band called Alive, was then asked to record video of himself drumming along to a Pearl Jam song, so he skipped school — including a statistics test — and headed to a nearby practice space. The next day, Neukermans found himself taking the stage to a crowd of nearly 20,000. “Everybody this is Kai; Kai this is everybody!” said Vedder. “You’re leading the band, brother.”
