Details

Innovative and exuberant, controversial and uncompromising, Yonder Mountain String Band spearheaded a musical movement in Colorado and carried its new language of progressive roots music to countless fans worldwide in a 25-year career that shows no signs of slowing down. With one foot in the bluegrass world and the other in the jam-band world, the band has weathered the scrutiny of the bluegrass establishment, changed its landscape and has come full circle with a Grammy Nomination for Best Bluegrass Album for their 2022 release, Get Yourself Outside, co-written by founding members Adam Aijala (guitar), Ben Kaufmann (bass), Dave Johnston (banjo) and Nick Piccininni (mandolin, fiddle, banjo).

No one band can be said to have invented jam-grass, but the movement and sound - the most commercially successful vein of bluegrass music over the past 25 years wouldn’t exist as it does today without them.
