Discography
Bryce & Yata released their first CD in 2008: Sheer Caffeine. It's crammed with 13 witty and thought-provoking original songs. They range from wicked social satire and irreverent whimsy, to the profound, heartfelt meditation "Loving the Questions."
Several songs from the album have been played on Wisconsin Public Radio's Sunday evening program "Simply Folk." And several videos from our CD release concert can be seen on YouTube.
Sheer Caffeine was produced by Bruce Hecksel of the nationally known "Fast Forward Folk" duo Patchouli.
Yata has also collaborated on six other CDs: Artesian Dreams (1980); Boy with a Pail (1989); Mississippi River Blues (2002); Mad as the Mist & Snow (2004); Spirit of the Raven (2007); and Snow Has Fallen (2008).

Bio
“If you can't get up a head of steam... you're gonna have to make it on sheer caffeine.”
That's a line that Wisconsin songwriter Bryce Black says popped into his groggy brain "real early one morning" years ago, as he was desparately trying to wake up and rush off to his day job. Fortunately, that line stuck in his head and started percolating. Eventually it was brewed up into Sheer Caffeine, the energizing title cut on the eagerly awaited first recording recently released by Bryce and his long-time neighbor, friend and collaborator, Yata Peinovich.
