Eddie Vedder (born Edward Louis Severson III; December 23, 1964) is an American (United States) musician and singer-songwriter who serves as the lead vocalist and one of three guitarists for the American rock (Rock music) band Pearl Jam. Vedder left the Southern California music scene and moved to Seattle, Washington (Washington (U.S. state)) in 1990 to join Pearl Jam where he rose to fame amid the grunge movement of the early 1990s.
