A High School Student Pinch Hits As Drummer For Pearl Jam

So this was pretty amazing…a high schooler ended up saving a Pearl Jam concert…

When legendary Pearl Jam and Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron got sick, 18-year-old Kai Neukermans figured the band needed a drummer for their concert at the Oakland Arena. He reached out to his acquaintance Olivia Vedder, the daughter of Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder, to see if he could fill in on the sticks.  He’s got a band with his friend and younger brother, and within an hour of sending a demo, he got a call from the manager to get to the stadium, They did find a pro to fill in most of the show…but Kai was going to get to play one song!
