Yakoba first picked up a super-shitty green, warped-ass guitar at 18. Oddly enough, he wrote song lyrics and harmonies long before that memorable purchase. Hence, he has always considered himself more of a lyricist/singer with an educational message to convey, than a guitar virtuoso. Luckily, he kept the receipt from the warped guitar and was able to purchase 'The Traveler' - his Korean Cort Earth 100 acoustic by paying the Niagara dealer an extra 100$ CDN.

June 18: Born and raised in Whycocomagh, Nova Scotia, Ralph is a Cape Bretoner through and through. He maintains a keen passion for music and entertaining the public. His family also has a love for writing and playing music and it was that influence that first got Ralph interested in writing poetry and eventually songs. Kitchen parties have always been a tradition of Cape Breton Island and it was during those evenings that his passion for entertaining began to come alive.

All we know is that we like his sound, and he'll be here Thursday night.

Come share your music with others who bare their souls through personal songwriting and story sharing.
+There's only one rule to attending:  That you support those who share their hearts with a LOVE
+APPLAUSE...spurring them to greater creativity and vulnerability.
