Widely acclaimed bluegrass outfit YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND have announced an array of headlining and festival dates for the second half of 2018. The band is also excited to welcome back working mom Allie Kral to the road, as she enjoyed some time off with the birth of her first child in May. Their one and only stop in Southern California will come in early October when they play the Huck Finn Jubilee in Ontario, CA.
YMSB (Adam Aijala, Dave Johnston, Ben Kaufmann, Jacob Joliff and Kral) released their latest album Love. Ain’t Love earlier this year, and also celebrated their 2500th show together. In April, they also released Hines’ Finds, a collection of their soundman’s favorite live tracks from their March dates. They 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.
