June 1, 2022 | jnettlebeck

When Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron got COVID before their show in Oakland, Eddie Vedder’s daughter reached out to a local 18-year-old drummer that she knew named Kai. The high schooler learned some songs in a few hours and sent her a video. Then he got to live his teenage dream and perform a few songs with the band in front 20,000 people in Oakland!
