at the forefront of the progressive bluegrass scene as one of the undeniable
innovators and pioneers of the modern jamgrass movement.
Bending bluegrass with elements of rock, alternative and improvisational music,
Yonder Mountain brought their high-energy, sound and psychedelic light show into
rock n’ roll settings with tremendous success, proving it possible for a bluegrass
band to not only exist but excel in a rock world without drums. The inroads they
made created opportunities for like-minded acoustic bands to perform at festivals,
rock clubs, theaters and stadiums previously considered off-limits for string bands.
Yonder Mountain's original music and anything goes attitude helped cultivate a spirit
of collaborative improvisation that continues to fuel today’s progressive bluegrass
and jamgrass scenes.
It is a testament to the legacy of Yonder Mountain String Band that their original
songs and unique interpretations of covers are regularly performed by next
generation marquee bluegrass bands.
Yonder Mountain String Band hits the ground running in 2024 with two studio album
releases, a full touring schedule and special musical guest, fiddle shredder, Coleman
Smith.
First up is a look into Yonder’s storied history with a previously unreleased studio
project: an EP featuring the original lineup of Adam Aijala, Dave Johnston, Ben
Kaufmann and the late Jeff Austin. The tracks were recorded December 13th and
14th, 2010 and January 28th, 2011 in Boulder, Colorado at Coupe Studios. The EP
titled I’d Like Off, will be released March 29th.
