SUMMARY:Yonder Mountain String Band
DESCRIPTION:“More than most of their jam band-scene counterparts\, Yonder Mountain String Band grows more polished\, more dynamic\, more adventurous and more commanding every year.”—Dallas Observer \nAt 25 years old\, Yonder Mountain String Band continues to exist at the forefront of the progressive bluegrass scene as undeniable innovators and pioneers of the modern jamgrass movement. Blending bluegrass with elements of rock\, alternative\, psychedelic and improvisational music\, Yonder Mountain String Band brought their high-energy acoustic sound into rock ‘n’ roll settings with tremendous success\, proving it was possible for a bluegrass band to not only exist but excel in a rock world without drums. \nThe 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 high-energy sound\, compelling original music and anything goes attitude cultivated a spirit of collaborative improvisation that continues to fuel today’s progressive bluegrass and jamgrass scenes. \nIt is a testament to the legacy of Yonder Mountain String Band that their original songs and unique interpretations/arrangements of covers are regularly performed by next generation bands in the scene. \nYonder Mountain String Band celebrates their quarter century mark with a Grammy nomination for their 2022 release\, Get Yourself Outside\, and an induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
