Vedder will play some solo shows

Eddie Vedder will undertake his first solo tour with a handful of shows in April highlighting music from the Pearl Jam leader’s music for Sean Penn’s film “Into the Wild.” The brief run opens April 2 in Vancouver and will include shows April 12 and 13 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles before wrapping April 15 in San Diego.

Pearl Jam’s website will have information about ticket sales, and members of the group’s fan club will get first crack at them. New Zealand alt-rocker Liam Finn will be Vedder’s supporting act for the shows, all of which will take place in California except for the Vancouver opener.
