Their latest release, Slurp Slurp (2024), continues to showcase their evolution, combining deep musicianship with improvisation.Known for their live shows and studio albums, YAM YAM has performed at festivals around the country including The Peach Music Festival, Summer Camp Music Fest, Norfolk Harborfest, Greenville Jazz Fest, Hulaween, Flood City Music Festival, and Northland's Festival among others.
