Dave Abbruzzese

On December 23, 2025, Aunty took a big step and offered a live broadcast of the Pearl Jam drummer on Vitalogy and VS, Mr. Dave Abbruzzese. Dave also is known for his work with incredible studio projects and is a well-respected drumming master from Dallas. He has played with everyone from Axl Rose to Peter Cornell, and dozens of acts in between, although he is most known for his grammy award winning work with Pearl Jam. This Hall of Famer does not disappoint. The first part of the interview starts about 29 minutes in, with a preview of the history of music of Pearl Jam discussed by Aunty S herself, (as Cathe B when her bands Horseless Headman and Deadbye both played.)

Dave is refreshingly honest, kind, and certainly one of the sweetest humans on the planet. Check out this rebroadcast, and add it to your favorites! Let's hope 2026 is Orange Menace-free and filled with GREAT music like Dave's!
