Bio

 It may seem foolish to pursue a life of music in these times but SCOTT YODER has never been one to shy away from his inner fool. Returning in ’24 with a fantastical new collection of songs on “Scooter Pie.”  This sonic journey is aided by a group of musicians that include long time collaborator Bryant Moore of The True Loves, Carolyn B. (of Mt Fog) and legendary cellist Lori Goldston (of Nirvana, David Byrne, Black Cat Orchestra).

SCOTT YODER’s journey into the more theatrical elements of his music has taken him across the world over the past few years. Several tours of Europe and North America have followed each of his 4 albums; most years he’s onstage one out of every three days.  Scott Yoder has played at many festivals: Capitol Hill Block Party, SXSW, Happy Sundays, Meltasia, Treefort & Lose Yr Mind Fest and has shared the stage with Kevin Morby, A Place To Bury Strangers, Roky Erickson, Shannon & The Clams, Death Valley Girls, King Khan & BBQ Show, L.A. Witch, The Shivas, and so many more.

Press

"Visually, he evokes the glam of T. Rex and “Aladdin Sane”-era David Bowie while being more on par musically with the brooding genius of Brian Wilson.” (Purehoney Magazine)

"This new project is a complete turn into a darker, more Bryan Ferry type of territory. Scott wore a vampire-esque cape complete with silky white gloves and haunted the room, constantly meeting eyes with audience members. I dug it. Would see again.” - (Three Imaginary Girls) 

"a punch-drunk ode to cosmic love; one that you'll want to leave repeating on your turntable." (KEXP) 

"loud, sexy, witchy, visceral, and rocking as shit.” - (Respect My Region)

"Strong and personable, casting a spell over you that continues to buzz about your head.” (The Grey Estates) 

“No matter what the sound the songwriting remains the strongest part of Scott’s work” (Clunk Magazine)
