A musical group hailing from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Da Yoopers has had 35 years of flying under the radar. Founded in 1975 by Jim DeCaire (drums), Joe Potila (guitar), Jim Pennell (bass) and Lynn Anderson (keyboards), the band achieved local success before self-releasing the album Yoopanese in 1986. Its followup, Culture Shock, accounted for two of the band's Signature Songs: "Rusty Chevrolet" and "Second Week of Deer Camp." Both songs received regional airplay on several radio stations throughout the Great Lakes region, and even appeared on Dr. Demento shows. Subsequent albums didn't produce nearly as much regional success, but the band continues to perform and tour to this day.
