Denver-based Yawpers were formed in 2011 by Nate Cook & Jesse Parmet. With the addition of drummer Noah Shomberg, a new trio was born. The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.” The rootsy three-piece whose sound puts a dark, punk-influenced undertow on acoustic blues released their new album, Boy In A Well, on 8/18/2017.
