Jeff Ament is to release Since Forever, a deeply personal visual journal of creativity, friendship and life on the road as a founding member and bassist with Pearl Jam. Since Forever is available for pre-order now here. It will be on sale in select independent bookstores from September 25, 2026.
A few years ago, Ament began working through his archive of decomposing negatives with his brother, acclaimed designer Barry Ament. Their efforts led to Since Forever, a 9″ x 12″ hardcover volume features more than 250 black-and-white photographs, accompanied by commentary from Ament.
“If there was a goal, it was mostly to save the failing 30 year old negatives. It was Barry’s idea to make a book,” explains Ament.
“Historically, my family will often get together by creating some kind of project or job. And in some ways, putting together this book was a job for Barry and me – a reason to hang out. Most of these photos are from 1990 to 1998. He was there for a lot of it. If he wasn’t, he was next door or a phone call away.
“Ninety percent of these photos have never been seen before,” continues Ament. ”Anybody who’s a PJ fan or a fan of what was going on in the 90s will dig it.”
