Born and Raised in London, Ontario, Ken Yates holds true to his roots as a Canadian singer/songwriter by following the influence of such folk stars as Neil Young. Self described first and foremost as a guitar player, Yates reaches out to his fans by crafting rhythmic guitar arrangements blended seamlessly with melodies that transport his listeners into the world of his lyrics. A recent graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston, his debut CD, "The Backseat EP" has been grabbing the attention of listeners worldwide, most notably from John Mayer who recently blogged about the up and coming singer/songwriter's song "I Don't Wanna Fall In Love".
