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.
Thanks for the friendship! Tune in to WHYS Radio 96.3 for the latest and greatest in live, local, and uncorporate music! Please submit or send cds for airplay! - Little Kangaroo
