Biography

Growing up in Philadelphia, Yudkin's father led a synagogue choir and his mother was the featured soloist. Yudkin studied violin privately for many years, but inspired by the example of David Bromberg, he was drawn to playing country music. Yudkin joined the band RD1, the house band at the Lone Star Cafe in New York City. In the early 1980s, he moved to Nashville and joined Leon Russell's Paradise Band.

Yudkin has worked with Kathy Mattea, John Hartford, Rascal Flatts, Lonestar, Taylor Swift, Robert Earl Keen, Terri Clark, Shania Twain, Ty Herndon, Riders in the Sky, Kenny Rogers, Walter Hyatt, and others. Yudkin co-produced Ty Herndon's 2007 album Right About Now.

Yudkin has composed feature-length film soundtracks, including Born Wild (2013) and Dug Up (2014). He was a member of the Doug Dillard Band, along with Ginger Boatwright, Roger Rasnake, and David Grier. They recorded the albums What's That (1986) and Heartbreak Hotel (1989).
