Bio
Metta, the title of Yogi’s solo debut release, is a vision for the future of modern rock that builds on the classic pop craftsmanship of his inspirations.
Yogi’s versatility as a songwriter, performer and producer – only hinted at as a member of Buckcherry and The Wallflowers – has culminated in Metta. 13 songs of melodic poignance and power.
“I’ve wanted to make a record with these kind of players for years,” says Yogi. “When I finally got the right combination of people, it was obvious. I’m fortunate to have an outlet to share music with the world.”
Yogi is currently on a worldwide tour with Chris Cornell in support of Chris' 2nd solo album, Carry On, as his lead guitarist and backing vocalist.
