YOTES
Yotes combines his rich baritone vocals with an energetic delivery, playing a mix of songs from 1950’s country, 1980’s neo rockabilly, modern Americana, and many genres and eras in between. He mixes songs by Johnny Cash, The Stray Cats, The Blasters, and Murder By Death with his own compositions. Old favorites are interspersed with some of his favorite songs by friends and up-and-coming artists he’s met through the years. Over the past fifteen years Yotes has developed his solo show, leaning on over two decades of performing experience in several bands ranging from high energy punk and rockabilly to soulful country, folk, and blues acts. During that time his solo shows evolved from being a convenient testbed for new songs and exploring different styles to a full-time traveling act. Yotes’s solo performances are tribute to the artists and music that have influenced him, a respectful nod to some of his favorite contemporaries, and an opportunity to share his own creations with live music fans everywhere!
