"Want to hear a great song? (I mean a REALLY great song?)" -- John Mayer, one forty plus

"Ken Yates' music is solid as stone and clear as mountain air... he proves the future is in very good shape" -- Livingston Taylor

Born and Raised in London, Ontario, Ken Yates moved to Boston to study songwriting at Berklee College of Music. It was there that he developed his skills as a songwriter, releasing his first CD, "The Backseat EP", and receiving the opportunity to play a song for one of his biggest influences, John Mayer.  Mayer even posted a full page blog about Yates' ability as a writer stating, "Ken Yates wrote a song called 'I Don't Wanna Fall In Love'... this song moved me when I first heard it and still does today". Yates' EP received high critical acclaim, leading to a slew of online covers from fans.  He has played numerous shows with veteran singer/songwriter and mentor, Livingston Taylor and is now in heavy rotation on Sirius XM's The Coffee House.  He now lives in New York where he is working on a full length album. - kenyates.com
