If you are new to the Yam Haus family here is what you should know: Yam Haus is a band formed out of long friendships and a shared dream. The band is comprised of Lars (lead vocals, guitar), Jake (drums), Seth (lead guitar), and Zach (bass). The band officially formed in Hudson, WI on September 23, 2017, as seen on their vlog on YouTube. Yam Haus is apart of a local record label, the Hover Coalition, based out of Hudson, founded by Jordan Erdman and Mark Heimermann. The guys have worked incredibly hard to put out their debut album, Stargazer, available June 15, 2018, and are excited to share their music and hearts with you! Yam Haus sold out their first headlining show this past year and was given the opportunity to play to a sold out crowd of over 1,200 at First Avenue in Minneapolis. It's been a great start.

HOW DO I JOIN THE STREET TEAM? You must sign up at www.yamhaus.com/streetteam - then you will recieve a confirmation email. Once you've signed up and attended your first street team event, you are officially a part of the street team! HOW DOES THIS STREET TEAM THING WORK? You get to decide what your street team experience is ultimately like! There are many ways to get involved. PHYSICALLY: We suggest frequently checking the Street Team section of our website to find upcoming physical events that we'd love for you to promote and attend. Aside from those set times, you are free to promote physically whenever/however you want. You can hang up posters/stickers. You can throw listening parties. You can also come up with your own creative ways of promoting or helping us. Please use your discretion and best judgement as to how to do this in a respectful, safe way. We can't wait to see your ideas! DIGITALLY: Join the official street team Facebook Group, and keep up with us on our socials (Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat) to constantly be updated on even more ever-chan- ging ways to get involved. Every follow, like, comment, view, retweet, share, and subscription directly helps us. Posting about us, sharing news about us, and pointing people to our music are all viable ways to be apart of the street team digitally. WHY #YAMFAMSTREETJAM? You do not have to use this hashtag, but that is the main way we'll be able to see what you're up to. If you post something you did for the street team and don't use that hashtag, the chances of us seeing it are much lower. 6 I'VE JOINED THE STREET TEAM – WHEN DO I GET MY SHIRT? You recieve posters, stickers, and your shirt at street team events and/or shows that you help out at! We do not ship them to you. We order street team shirts every few months so you'll have to ask us at events if yours is ordered yet. Please note: your shirt probably will not be avaible at the first street team event you attend. WHAT DO I DO WITH THE POSTERS AND STICKERS I RECEIVE? You can put up the posters wherever you can! Coffee shops, record shops, college campuses, etc.. Stickers can be placed anywhere! Street lamps, utility poles, bulletin boards, and anywhere else you can think of. Please use your own judgement and discretion when putting them up! Be safe and respectful! DO I STILL NEED TO PURCHASE TICKETS FOR SHOWS? Yes, you do need to purchase tickets to attend shows. VIP tickets give you guaranteed time with the band, however general admission is fine for street team members. I LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE TWIN CITIES - HOW CAN BE APART OF THE STREET TEAM? You can digitally be apart of the street team from anywhere, but physically we are only active in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area at this time. Send an email to [email protected] if you'd like to start a street team in your area and we'd be happy to explore your idea. PLEASE NOTE: Many of you already help us and promote us without signing up officially for the street team, and that is ok. Please don't feel like this is the only way to be a supporter, it's just the most formal way and it developed naturally as a result of many people asking us how they could help. The street team is our attempt to address these types of questions. Have more questions? Email us at [email protected] 7.
