Yonder Mountain String Band Brings the Fiery Shred




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Bluegrass quintet Yonder Mountain String Band dips into rock, prog, and improvisational music for their latest record, <em>Get Yourself Outside</em>. The band - founding members guitarist Adam Aijala, bassist Ben Kaufmann and banjoist Dave Johnston, plus fiddle player Allie Kral (who joined in 2015) along with new multi-instrumentalist Nick Piccininn - began writing the album remotely during the pandemic, collaborating virtually across time zones. The sound is entirely acoustic (and without drums) with foot-stomping sections of shred and solo-trading. Additionally, all five members sing, trading leads, and the vocal harmonies are rich and varied. Yonder Mountain String Band plays remotely from a permanent installation called Meow Wolf, in Colorado. - <em>Caryn Havlik</em></p> <p>Set list: “I Just Can’t” “No Leg Left” “Into the Fire”</p> <p>Watch "I Just Can't: </p> <p>Watch "No Leg Left":</p> <p>Watch "Into the Fire":</p>
