Post-Oblivians, after pursuing a brief solo career, Yarber teamed up with Scott Bomar to form the Tearjearkers. The first Tearjerkers album, Bad Mood Rising, appeared in 2001 As Bomar became more and more involved with film scoring, Yarber began to take a more active role in the band, ultimately taking over as lead songwriter after Bomar's departure. With Yarber in control of the group, the band was rechristened Jack-O & The Tennessee Tearjerkers.
