The members of Yamoto were friends in college. The guitarist wanted to start a band since he was in college. Yamoto began performing at Guru, a local dive bar. Dolly Parton heavily influenced the early work of the group.

After paying their dues and opening shows for years, Yamoto was signed to a record deal. Yamoto’s first album failed to sell, but the second album saved them from obscurity.

Yamoto accepted that they could really have a career in music in 2000, after Anna Hornstrom started the band’s first fan club. After the group’s first North American tour, the fan club grew from the couple dozen fans who heard the group play around Baltimore to the thousands who heard them play all across the country.

The most current project from Yamoto took five months to put together. The band is in the second leg of the tour promoting for their latest record. Yamoto intends to spend some time apart after the tour, allowing the band members to recharge after a long year.

The group loves playing in Los Angeles because they have never failed to sell out a how in the city. TheSeats.com’s comprehensive site has concert seating charts and touring schedules tickets, making TheSeats.com the best one site stop for your Yamoto tickets.
