The Youngs

The Seattle-based art rock duo the Youngs are a married couple consisting of guitarist/singer <a href="spotify:artist:7EJ1UC228jgcsU15NisaGp">Timothy Young</a> and drummer/singer Eryn Young. They met at Cornish College of the Arts in 1992 when <a href="spotify:artist:7EJ1UC228jgcsU15NisaGp">Timothy</a> was 23 and Eryn was 17, and they were soon playing music together, initially in a jazz group. Eryn remained at Cornish College through 1995, studying music, while <a href="spotify:artist:7EJ1UC228jgcsU15NisaGp">Timothy</a> moved on to a number of musical associations in Seattle. He played in a variety of local bands and with such national and international figures as <a href="spotify:artist:2oyWkw7sq99yqj12hVUHtw">David Sylvian</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3SONlwqLIP2GtaMh9pLYe5">Bill Frisell</a>. In 1999, Eryn moved to Seattle, and she and <a href="spotify:artist:7EJ1UC228jgcsU15NisaGp">Timothy</a> became a romantic couple, eventually marrying. When <a href="spotify:artist:7EJ1UC228jgcsU15NisaGp">Timothy</a> was invited to perform at the O.K. Hotel, he asked Eryn to join him on drums; she bought a $100 toy drum set for the occasion. They were pleased by the result and formed a permanent duo as the Youngs. In October 2004, the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Web+of+Mimicry%22">Web of Mimicry</a> label released their debut album, The Youngs. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
