It seems like a lifetime ago, but Pete Yorn moved to Los Angeles to write songs for film and TV over 25 years ago. Thank Me, Myself & Irene, the Jim Carrey comedy, for showcasing the song “Strange Condition.” It led to Yorn’s solo career taking off and an outstanding debut, 2001’s musicforthemorningafter.
Since then, he’s been utterly consistent, with 11 albums over the last two decades or so, including his most recent, The Hard Way. Plus, he never lost the film bug — Yorn last appeared in Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
Today, we have a mini-concert with Pete Yorn, taken from the XPoNential Music Festival in Camden, N.J. Enjoy!
