Hello Fellow PJ Fans,
Here at the Ten Club, we are very excited to announce the release of "5
x1: Pearl Jam Through the Eye of Lance Mercer". "5 x 1" is a killer photo book featuring over 180 previously-unreleased photos taken by renowned Seattle photographer and long-time Pearl Jam friend, Lance Mercer.
Lance Mercer had been shooting the Seattle music scene for over 10 years when he was invited to travel with Pearl Jam in 1992 as their official tour photographer. As a long-time friend of the band members, Lance was granted unprecedented access to capture Pearl Jam at their most introspective, creative, and personal moments. The best of these photos have been immortalized in "5x1."
"For five years, I focused on photographing Pearl Jam, shooting as close to the action as possible," explains Mercer. “Pearl Jam was a moving target. I learned to adjust to the surroundings and never went anywhere without my camera.”
In addition to dozens of behind-the-scenes snapshots, "5x1" features writings from a number of the band’s peers, mentors, and heroes. Ben Harper, Gloria Steinem, Bruce Springsteen, Cameron Crowe, Tim Robbins, Michael Stipe, Pete Townshend, Kelly Slater, Theo Epstein, Howard Zinn and more have contributed written narratives on Pearl Jam, which are used throughout the book to complement Mercer’s photos.
For a closer look and information on how to buy, go to pearljam.com/pjlm/5x1.htm.
