Out of the Box Album of the Week--Yonder Mountain String Band--Nowhere Next

On the 25th anniversary of the their first album, Yonder Mountain String Band’s new album “Nowhere Next” re-asserts them as a musical force that fuses bluegrass, rock and jam band music. With themes of possibility and personal growth, the mostly original songs teem with progressive string band energy. 

With a new fiddle player, Coleman Smith and a few songs that feature dobro legend Jerry Douglas they take an innovative approach to the songs and rely on their long-time history to re-inforce their signature sound. 

The mandolins and banjo mix with the acoustic guitars into songs that, no doubt, will be expanded upon in concert. 

Nowhere Next showcases the perfect interplay of the musicians of Yonder Mountain String Band, masterfully mixing an abundance of graceful emotions into a seamless musical statement.
