Emerging from the wreckage of his childhood band The Pharmacy, SCOTT YODER arrived clad in a black cloak, stomping to the beat of his own sparkling tambourine. Over the course of four LPs & nearly a dozen singles he has toured the world, espousing a more personal distillation of his song craft. Nearly always on the road, he has honed his live act with a crunching, yet sensitive backing band of similarly-inclined misfits. This glitter-folk balladeer, adorned in mascara & bell bottoms invites you to sway to his entrancing charm.

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).

“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
