Avaliações

Pete Yorn has a way about songwriting that is able to engage an audience with the first strum of his guitar. He has been going strong since his critically and commercially successful album, Musicforthemoringafter, and he continues to put out great albums and tour frequently. Pete Yorn is usually seen playing an acoustic guitar, but he often will use the electric guitar to play his more heavy tunes such as “For Nancy”, which is a crowd pleaser that the audience is guaranteed to rock out to. His music has typical elements of alternative rock music, but sometimes has a country twang incorporated in it. Pete Yorn has a very laid back vibe to his performance. He has a carefree stage presence about him with his long hair and sunglasses, which he is often seen sporting around. He has the ability to walk on stage in the most nonchalant way and awe the audience with his entrancing music like it was effortless. Yorn often sings in a withdrawn and apathetic voice, but somehow this enhances the cool, suave style of his delivery. Pete Yorn is well respected by many critics and fans, and has been featured in several movie soundtracks including almost every Farrelly Brothers’ film. Pete Yorn has also worked with many talented artists such as Peter Buck of R.E.M. who has performed guitar on several of his recordings. He has also performed and recorded with Scarlett Johansson having released the album “Break Up” with her. During his tours Pete Yorn will perform with a back up band that helps create a more energetic delivery to his performance.
When seeing Pete Yorn live you can expect to hear a wide diversity of his musical talent. He might play a soft, sentimental song such as “Lose You” at one moment and then at another moment he might rock out to the song “Precious Stone”.
