Perennial road warriors YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND have announced plans for their Spring 2019 tour, which kicks off this March in Iowa and wraps in early April in Santa Barbara, CA. The acclaimed jamgrass band recently released-for free-the second edition of "Hines' Finds," a compilation of their best recent live jams, as curated by soundman Ben Hines. Check it out here.
The band had a busy 2018, which saw them celebrate their 2000th show, the return of new-mom Allie Kral, the release of the acclaimed Love. Ain't Love album as well as the first "Hines' Finds" collection.
YMSB--Adam Aijala, Dave Johnston, Ben Kaufmann, Jacob Joliff and Allie Kral--formed in 1998 and have released 11 studio and live albums since, including three #1 Bluegrass Albums chart-toppers. Rolling Stone said Love. Ain't Love is "an album rooted in modern bluegrass and punctuated by genre-jumping excursions into world music, reggae and all points in between" and premiered the video for the album's first single, "Bad Taste," here.
Talking about the song "Take A Chance On Me," Taste Of Country said, "Funky' is just about the last word you'd expect to use to describe bluegrass, but Yonder manage to incorporate a funky groove with a sweet pop vocal hook and sunny vocal harmonies that would be right at home on mainstream pop radio for a track that is delightfully unexpected."
