Formed in Nederland, Colorado, in 1998, Yonder Mountain String Band is a Colorado-rooted group associated with the modern jamgrass movement. Their sound blends bluegrass with rock, alternative, psychedelic and improvisational elements, while retaining a drummer-free string-band lineup. They are known as a live act whose high-energy acoustic approach helped bring string bands into rock venues. Their Grammy-nominated 2022 album Get Yourself Outside was followed by 2024’s Nowhere Next, which features Dobro player Jerry Douglas on three tracks. Earlier collaborators include Tim O’Brien, Benny Galloway and Darol Anger. A Metroland reviewer heard “simultaneous cohesion and playfulness” in music where “taut lines of structure would dissolve into an ever-changing blend of strings.”

The venue features a spacious room with a full dinner menu available, allowing guests to enjoy a meal alongside the show. Seating arrangements accommodate both those who want to focus on the music and those who prefer a more social evening with drinks from the bar. Shows are ticketed, and arriving early is encouraged to settle in and explore the menu. The venue hosts a variety of genres, reflecting its versatile design and commitment to quality entertainment. An evening here promises clear acoustics, vibrant lighting, and a well-curated program that keeps the energy flowing from start to finish.
