Ep. 67: The Reinvention of Yam Haus: A Conversation About Change, Branding, and Being Real with Lars Pruitt

What do you do when the music you’ve been making just doesn’t feel right anymore?In this episode, I sit down with Lars Pruitt from Yam Haus to talk about what it really looks like to evolve as a band — not for clicks, not to stay trendy, but just to stay inspired. After years of building momentum with pop-driven songs, national TV appearances, and sold-out shows, the band started to feel a disconnect between what they were putting out and what actually excited them.So they pivoted.We talk about how that shift happened, why it felt necessary, and what it means to redefine your sound without losing what you’ve built. Lars also shares how the band handled internal change, why they took a break, and how they’re approaching things now with more honesty, more intentionality, and more room to grow.If you’re a musician wrestling with how to evolve — creatively, personally, or professionally — without throwing everything out, this conversation will hit home.Episode Links and Mentions🌐 Mark HeimermannConnect with the Guest:🔗 Yamhaus.com🔗 Yamhaus InstagramFeatured Song:“Green Lights” by Yam Haus🎧 Listen on Spotify👀 Watch on YouTubeGet new episodes by email: Join the Secrets From The Scene newsletter.Secrets From The Scene is made by Helvig Productions, a Twin Cities recording studio for artists and bands.
