Ryan Yates
Too often the term “Americana” becomes shorthand for “Beardy Banjo Band,” when the genre can mean so much more. Yates is a Olympia, Washington based one-man powerhouse who adds layers of complexity to the Americana descriptor by leaning on 1950’s Country, neo-rockabilly from the 80’s, and more than a hint of Johnny Cash.
