MUSIC:  Yesberger  Band

Coming to Cadillac from performances in Boston and New York, Cadillac Native Gabe Smith brings his Band to his hometown.   The Yesberger Band, an east coast college band founded in early 2010 at the Berklee College of Music, is the project of lead singer and pianist Devon Yesberger, backed up by good friends Spencer Stewart (bass) and Gabriel Smith (drums). They are a sensible, groovy, and poetic trio, mixing jazz nuances with catchy original pop. Inspired by the untapped bounty of wisdom hidden amongst the stars and spread throughout daily life, Devon writes songs that channel the feelings of laughter and smiles that everyone desires. The resulting performances only strengthen these feelings with a positive energetic stage presence that is unmatched by most young musicians, and is evidence of a strong passion for music, as well as a deep friendship between the performers and audience.  See www.yesberger.com
