If you haven’t heard Pete Yorn’s new album ArrangingTime yet, don’t worry, there’s still plenty of time for you to listen and fall in love before his April 11th concert here in Vancouver. His chill songs, strong beats, and hypnotizing voice means his album is going to be your number one place to find your next summer jam.
Not only is the Montville, NJ native (who now calls Santa Monica home) and new dad beyond talented, he manages to stay humble and inventive, as you will see in his answers below. His new album, which came out on March 11th, has already been getting rave reviews, and the hit single Lost Weekend, just might be your new weekend song.
