Yonder Mountain String Band is gearing up for their first Kinfolk Celebration at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons in nine years and we were lucky enough to catch up with Bassist Ben Kaufmann and Banjo player Dave Johnston recently to talk a little about the weekend and some other relevant topics. From the sounds of it the band is really looking forward to playing at the ranch again and bringing the family reunion back here to Colorado.
