And that's just the point. Yoder's musicianship is such that he seems to fit in wherever he performs. I sounded more like a rock artist in part, because in that setting, I felt I needed to hold my own. It was, after all, the Rock Challenge . Southminster is one of a handful of church venues for Yoder in the past year.
Churches are quieter, and there's no smoking.
People usually come to listen. Playing shows on the South Side, you definitely get your share of characters. If you check out the lyrics to ' Out of This Town ' or ' I'm Not Setting the World on Fire ,' you'll get a good idea. The album is bigger, more varied, poppier. I still write songs which are very folksy, very stripped down.
