Biography

With its latest album Get Yourself Outside, Colorado-based quintet Yonder Mountain String Band once again echoes out into the universe its place as not only a pioneering jam-grass act, but also one of the most innovative, intricate groups in the live music scene which is reinforced by its newest member, multi-instrumentalist Nick Piccininni. It’s a testament to the life and legacy of Yonder that three of the founding members — guitarist Adam Aijala, bassist Ben Kaufmann and banjoist Dave Johnston — remain at the helm of this American musical institution, something complemented and accelerated in recent years by the fiery fiddle work of Allie Kral, who joined the group in 2015. The new album boasts a reinvigorated energy alongside the usual foot-stomping jingles and sorrowful ballads that reside at the core of the Yonder signature tone. With the ever-evolving ebb and flow of its sound and journey, Yonder stands atop of the ancient rock foundation of the “high, lonesome sound” that is bluegrass music.
