Review | Yonder Mountain String Band: Music Farm - Charleston, SC

These Colorado jammers definitely brought their style of bluegrass to Chucktown. The Music Farm played host to Colorado's own Yonder Mountain String Band on Sat. Feb. 16. This was my first YMSB show, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. At first I was intreggued to hear a band go at it sans a drummer, but Yonder does this like no other. Three songs in I didn't even realize they were, for the most part, without a rhythm section. With nearly 10 years under their belts in the bluegrass/jam scene, these vets treated a packed house to a finely executed marathon of bluegrass (the second set alone was over an hour and a half long). The show was fueled by seamless segues and mandolin player Jeff Austin who was cuttin' high energy notes all night long. If YMSB comes your way, don't miss them!
