About Ted Yoder

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My parents use to take me to these 4 part quartet conventions and I just loved the way they would entertain and make you laugh. I remember wanting to make others feel happy like that. "People will forget what you say but not how you make them feel." What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Acoustic Alchemy, The Very Best of Acoustic Alchemy Charlie Peacock, Everything That's On My Mind Rich Mullins, A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band Anything Acoustic Alchemy. I found these gents when I was about 16 and have followed them for over 30 years. They are now friends but they have influenced me the most. Rich and Charlie have made some of the most meaningful music that I've known. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “My Heart Knows It” This song was written at a time when money was tight and there were stresses from all around. I sat in my orchard and started playing and this melody seemed to have always been there just waiting to come out. It's still a comfort for me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? In 2016 I had a viral video of me playing Everybody Wants to Rule the World on the hammered dulcimer in my backyard. A few weeks later, Curt Smith and Jamie Wollem of Tears for Fears came to my house to meet the family and the raccoon and play music.
