Bio
It just had to happen. After years of working with indie and mainstream bands including Collective Soul, White Stripes, Sister Hazel, Shawn Mullins and Sir Elton John, Alan Yates moved from behind the scenes to center stage with his own collection of original rock tunes. His songs portray personal stories of life and relationships set to a sound that Marquee Magazine says, “...is an intensely fun and inspiring blend of melodic pop rock.”
