At 26 years old, Grammy-nominated Yonder Mountain String Band continues to exist
at the forefront of the progressive bluegrass scene as one of the undeniable
innovators and pioneers of the modern jamgrass movement.
Bending bluegrass with elements of rock, alternative and improvisational music,
Yonder Mountain brought their high-energy, sound and psychedelic light show into
rock n’ roll settings with tremendous success, proving it possible for a bluegrass
band to not only exist but excel in a rock world without drums. The 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.
