   About Erik Yates
I've always loved too many instruments, and too many kinds of music. When I headed off to college in Oregon, I was singing and playing saxophone, flute and piano. While there, I fell in love with folk music and was led to the banjo, which should keep me plenty busy for awhile. I don't know why it happened this way, but it did. Regardless, my greatest love is songwriting, trying to make a little sense of living and losing everything. I sort of juggle the sideman and frontman hats, as do all my bandmates in Hot Buttered Rum, my main gig. I hope to put on as many shows as possible, both with acoustic and electric friends, in between shows with HBR. I also hope to get my current batch of songs out on an album sometime this year.

It's good to hear from you! It's been quite a while since I've seen you. We'll get a chance to play sometime soon, I'm sure. Do you have any plans to come through CO anytime?
