Pipeman discusses The South Florida Fair and the Classic Rock Tribute Band Competition with Given to Fly - The Pearl Jam Experience

BOB DONAHUE - Lead Vocals
A lifelong Pearl Jam fan and professional vocal coach, Bob's baritone voice is incredibly reminiscent of Eddie Vedder's. With a degree in music business in hand, Bob created Given to Fly in 2014 to honor his musical heroes and recreate the best of Pearl Jam for die-hard fans who know their music well. His gritty, warm sound plus the band's tight delivery makes Given to Fly a standout tribute.  Email Bob

"Donahue may not look like Eddie Vedder, but he sure sounds like him. Like, a lot. He inhabits 'Jeremy', Pearl Jam's dark, mid-tempo hit from 1992, just like Vedder does."  - Saratoga Living Magazine

WILL MICHAEL - Bass
From playing the Sunset Strip in LA in its heyday to gigging across the US, Will is a veteran pocket player with a full-bodied sound. He’s recorded albums and videos with multiple bands. Will maintains the beat with detail and brings a strong  low end that you feel in Pearl Jam songs.

RUI PINTO - Drummer & Backing Vocals​
​Rui started his music career as a full-time keyboardist touring Portugal for more than 10 years but went on to play as a drummer after arriving in the US in 2005. A graduate of Escola de Jazz Luiz Villas-Boas music school in Lisbon, Rui is a precise drummer who delivers with groove and feel. 

CHRIS ANASTASIO - Lead Guitar & Backing Vocals​
Chris is a veteran musician and grunge era fan who's gigged up and down the East Coast in tribute bands, cover bands, and original bands. He taught guitar at Albright College, and has worked as a guitar & violin luthier for 15+ years. Chris is endorsed by Ugly Amps, and Ron Procopio Guitars.

GEOFF HAYNES - Rhythm Guitar & Backing Vocals​
Geoff has been playing professionally since his first paid gig at age 16.  He’s a talented multi-instrumentalist and has also been lead vocalist in several projects. Geoff's performed across the US, including New York, San Francisco, Dallas, and Miami.

Given to Fly was hired to play at the premiere of Pearl Jam's documentary film "Let's Play Two", and promoted by Pearl Jam on social media, including in the official event and sponsored ads.
