Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready Unveils Title Track to Rock Opera Farewell to Seasons: Stream

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready has released “Farewell to Seasons”, the title track from a rock opera accompanying a graphic novel of the same name. The project brings together music and a story in print, with the 11-song album due on 1 December.

The album will be available as colour vinyl bundled with the deluxe edition of the graphic novel, in a pack containing a hardcover book and record; pre-orders are open. The song draws on folk and country rock, with influences associated with Neil Young and The Who. Separately, Pearl Jam are auditioning drummers ahead of a hoped-for 2027 tour, following Matt Cameron’s departure in 2025 after 27 years.
