There was no better place to be than at the Boulder Theater on the first evening of the New Year. YMSB’s show was one of those shows that is simply unlike any other, an unforgettable, irreplaceable night of creativity and chemistry. Having gone through quite the transition in 2014, the band has persevered, and thus gone on to create such incredible music paired with truly magical moments, such as the one that occurred last Thursday at the Boulder Theater.

2014 was a year of transformation for Yonder Mountain String Band. We had a chance to chat with banjo player Dave Johnston who talked about Yonder’s star studded New Year’s run, their new album, and what the future holds in store for YMSB. Dave also spoke candidly about the challenges faced in the wake of Jeff Austin’s departure from the band as well as YMSB’s search for a new identity.

This summer, Kauffman, Aijala and Johnston have joined forces with nearly everyone, and this year’s Kinfolk Celebration only solidified this notion, bringing in the fall season with a BANG. Marking the 1-year anniversary of the devastating flooding that took place in the Front Range last September, this year’s Kinfolk brought us hours of original tunes, impressive renditions and one-of-a-kind collaborations, and proved that our local community is stronger than ever.

On the eve of New Year’s Eve, Yonder Mountain String Band sold-out a benefit concert for flood-ravaged Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, Colorado. For weeks there had been desperate attempts made for those who hadn’t been quick enough in buying tickets, so expectations were unusually high. While Kinfolk up and down the Front Range had been looking forward to the whole five night run for months, this particular night was even more anticipated with profits going straight to aid the reconstruction of Planet Bluegrass.

Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending Bluegrass, Rock and countless other influences, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a Bluegrass band at first glance but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre. They will be joined by The Devil Makes Three and Danny Barnes on Saturday.
