Biography:
D.S. Yancey, trucker and troubador, has a big love for this country and its people. With a job that takes him coast to coast and border to border, he is always supplied with plenty of writing material. He's known to stop in a big city to play a show or a small town for an "open mic" any time he gets the chance. Raised on country-western and coming of age on punk rock music, this artist has given a face and sound to a style of music that has become almost forgotten. Not the song or structure, but the backbone of the work. An observers take on something happening at the moment in an isolated area or in this case, across the country. But at the end of it all, be it a love song or a social commentary, all lyrics and all chords, forged in truth and social uncertainty, will lead to yet another testament for which D.S. Yancey is well known.
