Biography
Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre. Dave Johnston points out “What could be more pure than making your own music.” Yonder’s sound cannot be classified purely as “bluegrass” or “string music” but rather it’s an original sound created from “looking at music from own experiences and doing the best job possible.” The band continues to play by their own rules on their new record The Show.
The Colorado-based foursome has crisscrossed the country over the past eleven years playing such varied settings as festivals, rock clubs, Red Rocks Amphitheater in the band’s home state, and recently the Democratic National Convention in Denver at Mile High Stadium opening for Barack Obama. Their loyal fanbase has been built from this diverse setting of music venues as fans latched on to their genre-defying original sound.
In between tours the band spent time this last year working on its fifth studio album.

SIMILAR TO SAM BUSH? Except Sam Bush Band has a mandolin player who doesn't just whack off on stage like a droopy-eye downsie.

I just REALLY started listening to these guys about a month ago and it’s permeating my soul like a bluegrass epidemic. YMSB is the panacea for any melancholy feeling you might have. In case yall didn’t know, over 1,000 YMSB shows are free as downloads on Archive.org. I highly suggest you check it if you haven’t already done so. Peace bros!
