Yonder Mountain String Band will be playing the above show during their 5th
Annual Cabin Fever Tour. The tour will take the progressive string band
throughout the Southeastern U.S., the first time the band has played these
cities since releasing their latest project, the self-titled Yonder Mountain
String Band.

Produced by Tom Rothrock (James Blunt, Foo Fighters, Elliott Smith), Yonder
Mountain String Band was released in May 2006. The band’s seventh album
found them adding a bit of drums to their mix of banjo, bass, mandolin and
guitar, courtesy of Elvis Costello drummer Pete Thomas, and it was almost
entirely written spontaneously.

Twisting and bending their sound with a rock producer was a natural next
step for a group of guys who actually grew up on rock music. Comprised of
Colorado transplants that grew up in the Midwest or Northeast, none of the
band members had backgrounds in bluegrass music, but rather discovered it
through old and new records and fellow musicians during college. The band,
who never uses the same set list twice, often covers songs like Ozzy
Osbourne’s “Crazy Train,” and the Talking Heads “Girlfriend Is Better.”
Through relentless touring and incredible word-of-mouth buzz, Yonder
Mountain’s fan base has ballooned over the last few years and continues to
grow across the country.
