Yates McKendree

The Grammy™ award winning McKendree is embarking on his solo career with a second album dedicated to the music he loves the most, straight-up Traditional Blues. Following his #1 charting debut LP “Buchanan Lane”, the new album "Need To Know" features both handpicked classic tunes and 4 original compositions which Yates co-wrote  with stellar Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame 2022 inductee and multi-Grammy winner Gary Nicholson. Produced with his father and fellow Grammy winner, Kevin McKendree, “Need To Know” highlights Yates’ skills, remarkable style and taste as a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist with an emphasis on guitar.

“I have said Yates is proof of reincarnation, only a very old and experienced soul could make his kind of art. Yes, he’s been around plenty before, and he’s giving it to this world again, just getting started being timeless.”                       Gary Nicholson
