Yates McKendree

Although just 21 years old, YATES MCKENDREE’S experience as a professional musician goes back more than ten years.

That early experience includes playing regularly in some of Nashville’s most notable venues The Bluebird Cafe, The Ryman Auditorium, 3rd & Lindsley). It also includes North American and European tours and multiple appearances on national television (Imus In The Morning, CBS Mornings). He has played on and engineered many recording projects; most notably for Delbert McClinton and John Hiatt, who told Rolling Stone Magazine, “Yates was our secret ingredient.”

In January 2020, Yates earned a Grammy™ Award on McClinton’s hit “Tall, Dark and Handsome.) His debut LP Buchanan Lane features both classic cover tunes and original compositions Yates has co-written with Gary Nicholson, the LP 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 gettingn started being timeless.” Gary Nicholson
