Hailing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Yam Yam is dedicated to exploring and creating beautiful music together while traveling throughout the United States.

Michael Dempsey plays piano and organ with a focus on jazz, gospel, and New Orleans boogie, while Xander Moppin provides the foundation of funk on bass. Tyler (Kokko) Fuller brings the pocket to the drums, and his brother Tom Fuller adds groove and ethereal psychedelic soloing on guitar.
