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.” According to Purehoney Magazine “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.”
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. Scott’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 3 previous albums; most years he’s onstage one out of every three days. He has shared bills with the likes of Kevin Morby, A Place To Bury Strangers, Roky Erickson, Shannon & The Clams, Death Valley Girls, King Khan & BBQ Show and many more. Festivals include Capitol Hill Block Party, SXSW, Meltasia, Treefort, Happy Sundays & Lose Yr Mind. His performance has been described as “loud, sexy, witchy and visceral” by Respect My Region. Clunk Magazine has said “No matter what the sound the songwriting remains the strongest part of Scott’s work.”
These twelve sweet and crunchy garage pop tracks will transport you from the otherworldly loneliness of interstellar travel in “Sing Your Broken Song” to the wayward path of a lost vagabond in “The Guttersnipe.” “Scooter Pie” is a one of a kind statement by a committed artist and proud weirdo.
