[BLUEGRASS] The Yonder Mountain String Band is a six piece, you guessed it, string band from Colorado. The self-proclaimed “progressive bluegrass outfit” are prolific as far as progressive bluegrass outfits go; releasing more than a dozen albums since forming in 1998—most of them released on their own independent record label, Frog Pad Records. Their seminal album is perhaps 2001’s Mountain Tracks Vol. 1 (which has spurred five additional volumes), a live release, which features songs like “Snow on the Pines,” a sometimes 14-minute-long banjo jam. Think the Grateful Dead meets Lester Flatt. Their latest album, Love. Ain’t Love, was released just this week and features the folky summer jam, “Alison.” Yonder Mountain String Band will make their return to Buffalo for a show at the Town Ballroom on Thursday, June 29.
