Brian Yoder (SRQ)
Brian has shifted in and out of stealing our hearts with his different approach on how to deliver his music. First he won our hearts with his catchy as hell songs in an intimate setting where everyone in the room was singing with him and even in their car after the show. Since those days he has delivered several projects leaning more in the looping and even full band spectrum, better known as Fancy Rat. This evening we want you to hear how embracing a brilliant musican can be with just his guitar.
