YOGOMAN

Band Leader/Conductor/Songwriter Jordan Rain/YOGOMAN is a world class drummer and highly dynamic singer who leads his band from the drum kit. Rain formed YOGOMAN (the band) in 2005 to bring musical sunshine to his often rainy Pacific Northwest region by way of his original mix of Jamaican and New Orleans dance music.  Raised in the Jet City, Rain came up through Seattle's underground all-ages music scene in the 1990's. YOGOMAN's music removes the barriers between audience, entertainers and the industry, making it a community party. YOGOMAN invites their audiences/fans/friends to engage with their music through dance, fun lyrics, and call and response, bringing to mind artists such as Toots & The Maytals, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Cab Calloway, Bob Marley and the Meters .  YOGOMAN has shared the stage with Jamaica's legendary Toots & The Maytals, Sly & Robbie, Marcia Griffiths, Skatalites, Third World, Reggae Legend Winston Jarrett, Clinton Fearon (of the Gladiators) and collaborated/improvised live with British Dancehall pioneer Pato Banton, Junior Reid of Black Uhuru, and many independent M.C.'s and instrumentalists. YOGOMAN travels anywhere with his musical family to play festivals, private parties, weddings and anywhere a celebration is needed.  Yogoman is internationally recognized for their fun and top quality musical experience.   Rain has also been a professional DJ of Jamaican and Soul vinyl since 1999 bringing high and positive vibrations to his live interactive mix of choice selections as DJ Yogoman. He also performs with his wife in a live duo Yogoman & Bongo Jac for occasions that call for a more laid back/romantic listening setting.
