  • Bio

    Yam Cannon strives to give you aural pleasure for the full length of each and every evening. Our musical philosophy is a combination of sausage pizza and anarcho-bolshevism. Serious consideration is given to serious matters. Fortunately for us all, there are no serious matters. .... We've been blasting our notes around the upper Midwest since early 2006, traveling in a minivan full of musical hopes and dreams, along with drums, guitars, and electronic amplification equipment. In 2007, we built our repertoire of original tunes and played our hearts out for bar crowds, free outdoor summer shows, and underground parties alike. ....In 2008, we landed some great co-headlining spots for Eau Claire's Sounds of Summer Concert Series, the Open Air Festival for the Arts, and the Spokesman Motorcycle Club's Annual Biker Rally. We've played with a lot of our favorite local bands, and also had great time during our first run of the local summer festival circuit at the Campout, Fat Fest, and the Fall Roots & Grass Festival. .... In 2009 the band continued this progress, garnering the headliner slot at the first annual Fire in the Flatlands festival in Iowa, along with primetime performances at Fat Fest and the Campout Roots Festival. The honor among honors came when the band was invited to perform at the 10,000 Lakes Festival in Detroit Lakes, MN. Yam Cannon was proud to be guests on a bill that featured Widespread Panic, Sharon Jones, and the Dave Matthews' Band as headliners..... Join us as we journey onward into the abyss!

    Speaking of Wisconsin, be sure to check out the latest Video Blog, which covers the band's visit to Stevens Point a couple weeks ago.
