Voted “Best Acoustic Artist” by readers of the Pittsburgh City Paper in three of the last four years, Brad Yoder logs over 150 performances annually, playing colleges, cafés, clubs, festivals, and even the zoo. Along the way, he has opened for artists such as Tegan & Sara, the Cowboy Junkies, Robyn Hitchcock, Hot Tuna, Erin McKeown, Cheryl Wheeler, and Rob Dickinson of Catherine Wheel, and sold over 5,000 copies of four self-released CDs. His songs have appeared on CBS’s "NUMB3RS," NPR's "Car Talk," the ABC Family Network's "Beautiful People," the "Dawson's Creek" 5th season DVD, and as part of the Pittsburgh Regional History Center’s 9-11 Memorial Exhibit. Brad has also led workshops at over 30 different colleges and universities on topics including songwriting, performance, and creative choices for working artists.
Brad’s unique mix of funny, poetic, political, funky and edgy original songs, covering a musical range from folk to indie rock, has earned him a loyal following ranging from kids in single digits through retirees, in the Pittsburgh area and beyond. Ed Masley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called Brad's newest CD, "Someday or Never" (2007), "an album stacked with brilliant moments, many of which find him tackling major existential issues with insight and humor."
