Yonder Mountain String Band

Bending bluegrass with elements of rock, alternative and improvisational music, Yonder Mountain brought their high-energy, sound and psychedelic light show into rock n’ roll settings with tremendous success, proving it possible for a bluegrass band to not only exist but excel in a rock world without drums. The inroads they made created opportunities for like-minded acoustic bands to perform at festivals, rock clubs, theaters and stadiums previously considered off-limits for string bands.

Yonder Mountain’s original music and anything goes attitude helped cultivate a spirit of collaborative improvisation that continues to fuel today’s progressive bluegrass and jamgrass scenes.

It is a testament to the legacy of Yonder Mountain String Band that their original songs and unique interpretations of covers are regularly performed by next generation marquee bluegrass bands.

Yonder Mountain String Band hits the ground running in 2024 with two studio album releases, a full touring schedule and special musical guest, fiddle shredder, Coleman Smith.

Nashville’s psychedelic punk-grass rockers, Sicard Hollow, grew up sick of any existing institution telling them who and what to be. Now, as they navigate adulthood, they’re equally tired of the music institutions telling them what their music should sound like— so they dunked it in patchouli and a skate-and-destroy ethos that brings an enduring sound into the modern age.

Since the winter of 2017, Dark Moon Hollow has seen numerous members come and go, from notable projects all over the Bluegrass State. Originally forming from improv jams in kitchens, livingrooms, etc. late into the Lexington nights, a core was formed and brought to stages in various forms over the next 5 years. In what could be described as a constant evolution of artists, Dark Moon Hollow has had many song writers, with guitarist “Trigger” Trey and mandolinist Riley Logan being the two constant voices on both studio albums.
