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.
