I hadn't been on PJ.com for awhile, but came across this news item at the top of the page:
Stone Gossard and Friends to Perform at Seattle’s Can Can on March 8th and 9th Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard presents two special evenings of music on March 8th (10:00pm) and 9th (9:00pm) at Seattle’s Can Can in the historic Pike Place Market (94 Pike Street). Evenings will include new, original songs by Gossard and friends as well as classic covers of songs by Hank Williams, The Rolling Stones, Grace Jones, Johnny Thunders, Prince and more.

I went both nights. Last night's set list was almost identical to the one posted from the first night. Real fun and real tiny place -- felt no bigger than a large coffee shop. Stone was backed by a rotating cast of amazing musicians playing everything from the clarinet and sax to piano and b3 to stand-up bass and trombone -- plus a DJ to boot! On some of the tracks, the DJ was spinning beats along with the band -- even to old Hank Williams tunes! Stone was definitely getting his funk on and it was a definite departure from his contributions to Pearl Jam. All in all, it sounded good and he was definitely having a fun time. Said they want to do more shows in the future. Highlight both nights for me was his new(er) tune, Your Flames.

I went on Monday. Pretty much agree with what the other attendee said-- it was well worth it! I actually went to see Brad as well about a year and a half ago when they played Neumo's in Seattle. Completely different atmosphere for sure!
I really dug the grooves Stone and the gang played and the band was really cool, much more jazzy and soulful than I would have thought.
They also played a Patsy Cline song, which his 2nd vocalist covered, that I didn't see mentioned.
I have some pictures of the event I can post when I get home tonight if anyone is interested.

Oh I also forgot to mention.... don't know if anyone knows who he is but Vince Mura was at the show (He is a local Seattle artist, 16 or 17-year old that channels Johnny Cash). He got a shout out by Stone right before the first Hank William's cover in which Stone thanked him for being there. Also Stone's Mom was in attendance for the 1st set and he talked about her being there in the 2nd set-- said if you ever have the chance to have a drink with her you shouldn't turn it down!
