His gritty, warm sound plus the band’s tight delivery makes Given to Fly a standout tribute.
WILL MICHAEL – Bass
From playing the Sunset Strip in LA in its heyday to gigging across the US, Will is a veteran pocket player with a full-bodied sound. He’s recorded albums and videos with multiple bands. Will maintains the beat with detail and brings a strong low end that you feel in Pearl Jam songs.
