Based in Whatcom County in the northwest corner of Washington state, the Yankee Drivers share an obsession with bluegrass music, solid picking, and heartfelt vocals. Their sound is grounded in the traditions of Bill Monroe, Tony Rice, Clarence White, Flatt and Scruggs and others who invented and energized this music. The Yankee Drivers also wander outside the bluegrass boundaries with influences from artists like Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, and Bob Wills, and traditional country artists. Be prepared for some serious foot-tappin’ when the tempo picks up, and a taste of misery and heartbreak when Robbie and Jeff roll out the ballads.
