I just saw on YMSB website dates for a kinfolk fest. Can anyone shed light on the details?
The fest is held at Planet Bluegrass in Lyons, CO. They announced that they would be returning at their benefit show on 12/30/13 at the Boulder theater.
GREAT fest. try to get camping right in planet bluegrass if possible. It’s right on the St. Vrain river, you can walk into town, Oskar Blues brewery is right there also.
I wonder if they held off on opening the ticket sales up til after Jeff Austin announced he was leaving…
I don’t think so. When they had it a couple of years ago with Yonder and GSBG, tickets definitely went on sale later in the Spring than this. Looking forward to being there this year. Very relaxed scene and of course, great music.
what :eek my head is spinning and I’m not even drunk yet!
what exactly do you mean, ‘til after Jeff Austin announced he was leaving…’
…after research and incredibly unfortunate modify button…(from Jambase…)
Yonder Mountain String Band is all about family, and through the support of our family of fans, we have been able to play music for you for the past 15 years. We couldn’t be more proud about our successes and experiences performing at the best venues and festivals in the country, and for the most dedicated fans any band could ever wish to have. With this said, YMSB would like to share some news about the future of the band. Collectively, after long, heartfelt discussions, we’ve all decided to move forth with a newly formed line-up due to varying career goals and creative pursuits. As of today, all future YMSB shows will be performed with Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Ben Kaufmann (bass, vocals), and David Johnston (banjo, vocals). We will welcome exciting special guests throughout the rest of the year and we look forward to a new permanent line-up in 2015. YMSB fully supports Jeff Austin and his emerging solo career.
Yonder Mountain String Band will perform all scheduled dates throughout 2014 with the new line up and special guests. Jeff Austin will be announcing more dates for his solo endeavors in the coming months. The band wants the fans to know that this decision did not come easily, and we’ll certainly keep all of our fans up to date with the new Yonder band- member line-up information.
