Yoder and the Electric Barnraisers came together with a sound that mixed country instrumentation with electric energy. Their 2018 debut album featured the song "Runaway Life," which became something of an anthem for listeners drawn to its themes of restlessness and breaking away.
The band's lineup included Yoder on vocals and guitar, Emily Rose on fiddle and mandolin, Ezra Jones on bass, and Luke Carter on drums. They followed their debut with two more albums: 2020's more experimental "Electric Rodeo" and 2022's "Heartland Highway," which leaned back toward their country roots.
At one point, the group faced legal disputes over their music rights, which led to a hiatus and a temporary name change to The Electric Barnraisers. Yoder's personal struggles with addiction and mental health were also part of the band's story, influencing his songwriting.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
