The stage is set, the taps are flowing, and all that’s missing is you! Don’t miss out on the electrifying performance by Ryan Yates (Yotes) on Sunday, March 10 from 5-7 PM at Draught Works.
Blending a wide variety of musical influences, along with the comfort on stage that comes from over two decades of performing, Yotes entertains audiences with a mix of songs from 1950s 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.
Yotes began performing as a solo artist in 2009. Over the years Yotes has played in blues bands, and psychobilly bands, and toured the US in a Johnny Cash tribute. As he continued to develop his one-man show those experiences shaped his approach to producing and performing his act. Yotes’s solo performances have become a tribute to the artists and music that have influenced him, a respectful nod to some of his favorite contemporaries, and a testbed for new music as it’s written.
