For nearly 17 years, Yonder Mountain String Band has redefined bluegrass music, expanding the traditional acoustic genre beyond its previously established boundaries by steadily pushing the envelope into the realms of rock n’ roll and improvisation. They were not a group of porch-dwelling Southern gentlemen when they started this band. These were rock-and-roll kids, drawn to the speed and straightforward storytelling of bluegrass - and have grown into a premier new-wave string act, beloved in both jamband and bluegrass circles.

They're a party of five who plays traditional music with a point of view that's anything but. YMSB keeps it fresh with a wide-ranging song catalog and pure improvisational talent. You'll never see the same show twice and that's precisely what attracts their cult-like following.
