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 [their] 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. Set for a September 1 release on the band’s own label, The Show is the second album with rock producer Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliott Smith, Foo Fighters). While some might scratch their heads as to why a string band would want a rock producer, this decision was a natural choice for the band. “We don’t have a lot of nostalgia for the past,” says banjo player Dave Johnston. “You shouldn’t try to recreate the 1940s. I like to think of us as informed by the past and all the great performers before us. But we also want to look forward rather than give people something that has already been perfected.” (Read more . . .)

Love to all you sisters and brothers,please,forgive this,a gramatic of opinion maybe to some,but i have been all over the world and a natural born american for 36 years......(We are loosing every last bit of our sovereignty,individuality,unity and born right to freedom of will and ideals)....i'd like those whom have not payed deep,close attention to the more factual news(freespeach tv,BBCAmerica and InfoWars). The (((CHANGE))) prommissed to us by the current administration is not in the benefit of the self-sufficient,content or struggling working folks that push for a better future,comfort and security......it is for expansion of public welfare and the super-RICH....this is not change...it is hyperdrive into america becomming another 3rd world country,..economically beneath china and mexico.
My new record just came out this week on I-Tunes and CD Baby. An exclusive video and link to the new album is featured on my myspace blog. Please leave us some feedback to let us know what you think! Thanks for your support.
