MATT DRISCOLL: WHO SAYS THE LIBRARY ISN'T COOL? >>>
If you’re a fan of Pearl Jam â€" or, maybe just a fan of rock and roll posters â€" chances are you’re familiar with the work of Ames Bros. A Seattle based design company run by Barry Ament (PJ bassist Jeff Ament’s brother) and his longtime buddy, Coby Schultz (the two grew up together in Montana before moving to Seattle) along with Brad Klausen, Ames Bros is responsible for virtually every piece of Pearl Jam merch and every concert poster the band has signed off on.
It’s an impressive catalog, and one Ames Bros is proud of.
So proud, in fact, that they’ve made a book of their work for Pearl Jam â€" titled Ames Bros vs. Pearl Jam: 13 Years of Tour Posters â€" which was released last year. It’s a fantastic collection of some of the best rock posters of a generation â€" in a time when the art of crafting rock posters seems to have been sadly lost.
Starting with a 6 p.m. book and poster signing tonight featuring Schultz and Ament, the Tacoma Public Library's Handforth Gallery will host a 7 week exhibition of some of Ames Bros best work.
