Amanda Rhine- Tenor Saxophone & Vocals
Amanda began playing music as a small child, learning by recording songs off the radio to cassette and teaching them to herself on keyboard. She worked her way through the school system of band and choir, and graduated college with a degree in Music. Her main instrument is Clarinet (which may be employed in YBB), but has always had an affinity for the saxophone.

In Amanda's words- "The opportunity to play for YBB is dream. I never imagined in my wildest that I would ever play in the most esteemed band in Bellingham. This is the first time I’ve ever played in a regularly performing band, and am excited to work with an interdependent group of musicians. I look forward to developing and finding my sound--both vocally and instrumentally--through a new approach to music. I guess I’ve always known deep down that I wanted to make music for a living, but never believed it could be a reality. I’m just incredibly grateful to have this opportunity."

Hey all YBB Fans,
a collection of people who have played in the group over time are coming together for this New Years Explosion at the Shakedown venue in downtown Bellingham, WA.  Robert Blake on guitar, Aaron Harmonson on Bass, Sara Jerns on Trumpet, and of course Mars and I (Jordan Rain/Yogoman) in our usual positions. 

We will be opening the night, doors are at 9pm and we'll kick things off around 10pm.  The All Nighters, Bellingham's original surf/punk/rock group will be playing their own special style of instrumentals served up with a handful of guest vocalists and the Dirty Bird Cabaret dancing to their music.  I will be singing a tune with them at some point in the evening (which tune is a surprise).  
If you're planning on coming from out of town, or even if you live in Bellingham, look for ticket links online or from the Facebook Event as you'll want to purchase advance tickets with only 150 adv. tix available (approx.).   Either band could sell out the Shakedown easily.  We haven't played since August, and the All Nighters haven't played for a year, so this medium sized venue will be packed to the rafters. 

The new formation of YBB is coming together and we are trying a 5th member out this week on Saxophone, so we'll keep you posted on how it goes.

Cheers and Happy Holidays to you all from Yogoman Burning Band.

P.S.- this is a good time to purchase merchandise from our YBB Store for the Holidays.  And, as my free of charge gift to you, I've uploaded the unreleased, but famililar to our live shows track, Meixing (the Family Song), written for my daughter, immediate family and the guy who got me into Jamaican music. For your listening pleasure and dancing shoes!

If you think this is a weird move, you're absolutely right.  However, my dad and I have been talking about playing music together for a long time, and recent events opened this opportunity into a reality.  I don't know how this will shake out, but we are totally going for it!  My father, Michael Rain, was my first inspiration for music growing up and no doubt who gave me the musical itch that is unsatiable for me up to this point.  Mike has been playing in Northwest bands since the 70's and is at heart a rock n' roller without a doubt.  He has always appreciated YBB and is willing to work with our groove, he is a fun guy to have around, so we are happy to have him in the YBB fold on bass and vocals.  Our family vocal timbre is great for harmony singing and will be cool to have father/son on bass and drums.

*So, only one to two horn players left to complete the circle.  We have a couple contenders that have auditioned, and will probably know quite soon if they are in.  But if you know any girls that play sax or trumpet, now is the time to let them know about YBB auditions.  They will be closing very soon.
