Howdy! My name is Glenn Yoder, a folky-jazzy-alt-country artist from Dallas, Texas, currently residing in Boston, Massachusetts.
Band/artist history
Duffer was my band in Texas, a fun little combo I began putting together in 1994 and fronted through just recently. We scored a couple minor college radio hits in 2000 and 2001 with "Telephone" and "Together Rhymes with Clever" off Everything Up in Flames. After our second full-length, Leave the Records Stack'd, was released in summer 2003, we split up. I had recorded an experimental solo album simultaneously with the other album, and upon moving to Boston in September, began promoting it a bit. The songs "Ambivalent Farewells" and "Rainy Days" were semi-popular songs off Records... My solo album began getting some radio play in Boston, and hence pursuaded me to continue forth, playing and promoting. I plan to re-record select songs off my last 2 solo EPs from 2003 and 2004 and put together a formal full-length solo release.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I live in the Back Bay area of Boston, Massachusetts, serviced by the green line and the orange line. I play primarily in Boston, Cambridge and surrounding areas when the opportunity arises. Occasionally, I meander back to my old stomping grounds in Dallas, Texas, and relive my high school rock and roll glory.
Your musical influences
The Lemonheads, Nada Surf, Nick Drake, Whiskeytown, Neil Young, Elliott Smith, The Replacements, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, The Who, The Beatles, Sufjan Stevens, The Band, Stevie Wonder, Magnetic Fields, Ben Folds, Geoff Farina and Karate, Paul Simon, The Pixies, Teenage Fanclub and the Faces.
What equipment do you use?
Right now, when I'm playing shows solo, I use my voice, a 1981 Washburn Timberridge Custom acoustic guitar, and an old harmonica. In recording, I use Ludwig drums, various other guitars (a 1982 Gibson SG standard and a 1969 Fender Telecaster Thinline), a piano, an Ensoniq synthesizer, various children's toys, some bells from India my sister bought, etc.
Anything else?
I want you to be my friend.
