Y&T to Receive Icon Award at Poppy Jasper Film Festival | Metro Silicon Valley | Silicon Valley's Leading Weekly
"Y&T, originally named Yesterday & Today, formed in 1972 and began as a cover band before transitioning to writing their own music by 1974."
"The band's classic era began after signing with A&M Records, leading to the release of five studio LPs and a live set between 1976 and 1986."
"Y&T achieved significant success on the Billboard charts, with their biggest hit 'Summertime Girls' reaching No. 16 on the Mainstream Rock singles chart."
Y&T, a hard rock band from Oakland, has been active for over 50 years and has sold more than four million units. Despite their success, they have not received significant recognition until now. The band will be honored with the Icon Award at the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival. Formed in 1972, they initially played covers and later began writing original material. After signing with A&M Records, they released five studio albums and achieved notable chart success in the 1980s.
