Stone Gossard
- Actor

Stone was born in Seattle to lawyer parents. He has two sisters, Shelly
and Star. He went to a really preppie artsy school with former bandmate
Steve Turner (Green River) of Mudhoney. One of the founders of the
"Seattle Music Scene", Stone started in a band called The Ducky Boys
and later became one of the founding members of Green River with
current bandmate Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam. He was also a member of
Mother Love Bone up until the tragic death of Andrew Wood from a heroin
overdose. Stone and Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) got members of their
respective bands together to produce a one-off stellar project called
Temple of the Dog in tribute to Andrew Wood. Apart from being the major
influence and contributor to Pearl Jam, he has a side-band called Brad
which records under his own record label, Loosegroove, run by his
sister Shelly.
