About

YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND IN CONCERT:

Yonder Mountain String Band has been a beloved source of boot-stomping, barn-burning bluegrass music ever since its inception in the late '90s. At their live shows the group peppers their progressive bluegrass numbers with improvisational flourishes reminiscent of jam bands like Phish, making for a rollicking concert experience that's never short on surprises. Original mandolin player Jeff Austin is no longer with the band but founding members Dave Johnston (banjo), Adam Aijala (guitar), and Ben Kaufman (bass) are still as sharp as ever, enlisting the help of a talented array of additional instrumentalists at their live shows. Whether they're fingerpicking their way through originals like "All the Time" or offering up creative covers of classics like "Jolene", Yonder Mountain String Band always delivers an authentic bluegrass experience anchored in stellar musicianship and no-frills fun.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Yonder Mountain String Band formed in Nederland, CO in 1998 after banjoist Dave Johnston and singer Jeff Austin, who previously played together in The Bluegrassholes, joined forces with bassist Ben Kaufman and guitarist Adam Aijala. The band made a name for themselves with their unique bluegrass-meets-jam band sound, and in 1999 they self-released their debut album Elevation. They quickly built a fanbase with their electrifying live performances, and in 2000 they kicked off a string of live releases with the album Mountain Tracks: Volume 1, which was recorded over two nights at the Fox Theater in Boulder, CO. Since then they've been a constant presence on the bluegrass charts, making six Top 5 appearances including the chart-topping albums Mountain Tracks: Volume 5 (2008) and The Show (2009). In 2014 Austin left the band due to creative differences, but the group's stellar performances in his absence have left little doubt in fans' minds that Yonder Mountain String Band remains at the height of its powers.

  • An excellent night of music.

    by BeebleBass on 4/8/24191 Toole - TucsonRating: 5 out of 5

    I had not seen Yonder in years and didn't even know the line-up had changed till I saw the band pic. I loved the songs, set, vibe, atmosphere, and band's energy. The venue was small enough to see the band from anywhere and the music sounded great. They played no stop and really gave the crowd their money's worth. Thanks. Hope to see the band next time they come through. Hopefully it's sooner than a decade.

  • Amazing Night Amazing Music

    by jeff on 2/28/24Big Night Live - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been listening to YMSB for decades and just like they said, they have not been back to Boston, in a loooooong time. The show was epic and the encore was truly special, mainly b/c the audience, like the Dude, abides and goes completely silent and then they play no amp acoustic.

  • Great line-up

    by KWKen on 10/5/23Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium - SpartanburgRating: 5 out of 5

    A great concert. Three great bands. I must admit that I enjoyed Railroad Earth the most of the three. The Spartanburg Auditorium was a nice venue. This was my 2nd concert there and both were highlites.

  • Show

    by Mike on 10/1/23Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium - SpartanburgRating: 5 out of 5

    Yonder Mountain put on a great show in Spartanburg SC

  • Incredible Yonder!!

    by Kevin McPherson on 9/28/23Avondale Brewing Co. - BirminghamRating: 5 out of 5

    In my opinion Yonder is back to being the best band around! The energy that they play with and the way they jive together is unmatched! Avondale is a great venue! After the show, Ben was out in the crowd and meeting fans, which isn't very common these days and was greatly appreciated! Keep up the fantastic work Yonder! Still my favorite band!!

  • Exceeded expectations

    by Jamweiser on 8/15/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    Fantastic venue, seats were great, pricing was reasonable, sound was fantastic. Will definitely consider seeing another show at this venue

  • Still the Best

    by Uncle Clam on 8/15/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    First saw these boys in a little bar in Bozeman, MT back in 2000. All these years later they are still melting faces!! Although I miss Jeff deeply and always will, Nick does a fine job of holding the mando spot down.

  • All not about that bass!

    by PES on 8/14/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    The bands sound was beautiful. As in previous concerts I have been at The Rose, the house sound systems bass was overwhelming. Drowning out some crucial sounds. Perhaps midrange controls are to blame. Otherwise, wonderful experience!

  • Awesome groups!

    by Eric on 8/14/23Rating: 5 out of 5

    I had a wonderful time listening to Yonder Mountain String band, Railroad Earth and Leftover Salmon. One of the best experiences in a few years. Thank you!!!

  • BORING

    by BEARCLAW on 8/14/23Rating: 1 out of 5
