Specially-curated for HAAM Day by local musician, Scott Strickland, the YETI showcase is a must-see in your HAAM Day lineup!

When it comes down to it, many musicians have similar origin stories: Older siblings and/or parents deeply into popular music, playing songs and dragging them to all sorts of inappropriate shows at a very young age.  Yet for Daniel Fears, things went another way. Growing up in a religious Houston household, secular music was strictly forbidden. Fears caught the music bug from a different source. He explains. “We were going to Lakewood Church in Houston. My mom was the music director there. I’d go to rehearsals with her, so I’m hearing these excellent church musicians probably three times a week as well as on Sunday morning.” “And then I started in [school] band playing trombone when I was 11. And eventually, we moved to a much smaller church. And I started playing drums for services and stuff and played every week until I was about 18.”  Walled off from the enveloping curtain of pop ephemera, Classical music became Fears’ passion.
