Hey Stella

Alt-Country super group formed out of boredom and desperation. Irreverent, charming, they do whatever the hell they want and have a blast doing it.

Alternative country "supergroup" Hey Stella formed in 1998, and quickly gained a reputation as one of the premiere "live" acts in the country. Spanning over five years, thousands of patrons caught Hey Stella (David Baxter, Bazil Donovan, Michelle Josef, Lori Yates) in the cavernous back room of Ted's Wrecking Yard and Ted's Collison as part of their weekly residency.

High praise for MATADOR:

“Not very often do you run into a record so beautifully rendered as Lori Yates’ Matador. The songs contain so much wisdom and are exquisitely sung. That voice is a gift” - Jim Cuddy, Blue Rodeo

Some people told me I was too old, that I should retire, that I had my 15 minutes, that no one wanted to hear me sing anymore, that I was a has-been, a bridge burner, a never was. Pfft!
My career path, my life story and has never looked like anyone else’s. Nor does yours! Don’t give up, don’t give in!
Buy a ticket come and see us…we’ll laugh till we cry!

I am blown away by this review!! Many thanks to Rob Bowman.

"Lori Yates' first album in eight years, Matador, sparkles with seductive grooves, wonderfully inventive melodies and finely crafted, emotive-filled, country-inflected vocals. Highlights include the title song, lamenting the loss of Toronto's fabled after-hours haunt, the Matador Ballroom, and the shimmering, wistful opener, "What a Life." Matador is, so far, my favourite album of the year. It just may well be yours too."

Rob Bowman, Grammy-winning Professor of Music
