Jerimae Yoder Goes Vertical

IBB Records has inked a deal with TAG Artist Group to distribute the debut release “Vertical” from Jerimae Yoder, in stores nationwide August 8th.

Jerimae Yoder has been entertaining audiences nationwide on the Extreme Tour for the past year, tweaking and looping every sound that could possibly emanate from an acoustic guitar, while relaying his biblical message of hope for the future and contentment for today, creating a new sound and a buzz in the Indie music community with his charismatic personality, engaging message and innovative live performance, melding together acoustic guitar with electronic elements.

Yoder grew up in a Mennonite household in rural northern Indiana. There seemed to be a lot of religion in his life being the son of an Amish mother and a Mennonite father. Yoder will be the first one to say that he never tried too hard to know God. So when he left College to look for that elusive relationship with "god," he did not expect to end up reading the bible voraciously or experience the one, true God change his life dramatically before him.

Yoder's personal revolution began in 1995. A "radical self- turning" is how he describes the transformation that began on a summer evening on a park bench in Michigan. Nothing would be the same from that point on. As he packed up his red VW bus bound for California, God began to work in all his situations. A two week stop in Indianapolis turned into 10 years, 1 wife and 3 kids. And of course, a national music ministry.

"What sets me apart from the mainstream music scene is that I care about the message," says Yoder. "I care about people. I care about God. And I care about how people respond to God."
