who are these guys?
Eric Sanders plays drums and percussion. Brooks Smith plays keyboards. Vaylor Trucks plays guitar and Moog synthesizer. Eric is an in-demand touring drummer and music instructor, currently teaching at the Atlanta Institute of Music and has a touring resume which ranges from Col. Bruce Hampton and the Fiji Mariners to Stuck Mojo. Brooks is a multi-instrumentalist who has toured nationally on four different instruments and was part of the first wave of jamband insurgency as a member of both The Grapes and Lester's Farm. Vaylor has gained a small amount of notoriety through his tenure with Bonobos Convergence, and later with Butch Trucks and the Freight Train Band; plus he's related to a few folks you may have heard of.
The Yeti Trio was formed in 1998 and has remained a labor of love for all three... except for Brooks. We hate Brooks.
