Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder joined forces with Post Malone Saturday night in Shelbyville, TN for a couple of songs during the second annual Reportin’ for Duty benefit concert.
Taking place as “the world’s longest bar”, The Humble Baron at the Nearest Green Whiskey Distillery, the concert is a tribute to the late comedian and Tennessee native, Leslie Jordan and also raises funds for EB Research Partnership – EBRP – a charity that Vedder and his wife founded. The EBRP is dedicated to finding cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa which is a skin disease.
Vedder and Malone covered Pearl Jam’s “Better Man” and Tom Petty‘s “I Won’t Back Down”
In case you were wondering, Posty is a big Pearl Jam fan thanks to his older brother who introduced him to their music. He’s also in past concerts has thrown down covers of Alice in Chains, Green Day, Nirvana and more. The rapper is a rocker at heart!
Pearl Jam is also gearing up to release a brand new album (and tour to follow), Dark Matter. It drops on April 19th
