Yes YES Drops Latest Song “Korean girls”

May 12, 2015

Buffalo’s most interesting man, Michael Ersing (aka Yes YES), continues to make Korea his new home. The always fascinating folkie has been making the most of his time overseas, appearing on Korean shows Hey Rookie and BalconyTV over the past year, and just last week, Yes YES dropped his latest song, the understated “Korean girls.” Featuring a very Andrew Bird like whistling intro, a melancholy Ersing delivers a bare bones, Jeff Buckley-esque number. Give it a listen below.

November 28, 2014

Eccentric Buffalo folk transplant, now Korean resident, YES YES (aka Michael Ersing), was recently featured on a Seoul roof top as part of BalconyTV, a daily online program featuring musicians and artists performing on balconies all over the world. Ersing, sounding rather Jeff Buckley, performed his pretty song, “Under An Umbrella With You,” under a sunny Korean sky. Bless the person working the subtitles for trying to keep up with the always fascinating Ersing while explaining his song to the eager host. Watch the live video for “Under An Umbrella With You” below.

Yes Yes Performs On EBS’ Hello Rookie

September 16, 2014

Buffalo’s favorite ex-pat folk singer, Yes Yes Michael Ersing, recently appeared on the September installment of Hello Rookie, a musical competition airing on Korean network, EBS. The monthly program pits musicians against each other for the chance to advance and appear on the television special,  EBS Space 공감, with the opportunity to win 1 million won, which is roughly $970. While Yes Yes sadly did not win (the money went to MAN and Wings of the ISANG), the program certainly provided the relocated musician a great opportunity to showcase his unique brand of folk. Watch the video below. Keep an eye out for the transfixed audience members throughout the clip. Photo Credit – Douglas Vautour
