Since its beginning in 1998, Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Blending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences, Yonder has pioneered a sound all their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like your average bluegrass band at first glance but in reality they’ve created a truly unique sound that transcends any genre. The Colorado-based foursome has crisscrossed the country over the past eleven years playing such varied settings as festivals, rock clubs, and recently the Democratic National Convention in Denver at Mile High Stadium opening for Barack Obama. Their loyal fan base has been built from this diverse setting of music venues as listeners latch on to Yonder’s genre-defying original sound. The band continues to play by their own rules on their latest studio release, The Show, the group’s second album with rock producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Foo Fighters), which flew to #1 on the US Bluegrass charts earlier this year.
