Jon Yeager: The Other Nashville Cat

This week, my Wayward Son column focuses on Ben Grimes, a Kansas City musician returning home to play a show after having moved to Nashville a year ago. The former Golden Republic frontman is bringing his newish project, Soft Reeds, to the Record Bar on Wednesday, November 26 (also on the bill: Hidden Pictures).

Grimes is not alone in this gig, however. Joining him on stage that night is Jon Yeager (that’s him on the right lookin’ all gypsylike), who moved to Nashville this past August, both to make music with Grimes and because he needed a change of scene. You should remember Yeager both for his solo work and for his membership in the Daybirds in the late ’90s, early ’00s. In fact, if you made a habit out of going to shows anytime over the past ten years, chances are you saw, met, knew and possibly went home with Jon a few times. He was ubiq…ubiqt…omnipresent basically up until his move.

How’s the magical genie of sound been treating Yeager since he moved? Find out after the jump.
