Yonder Mountain String Band

So wonderful that they came to Fairbanks! The setlist was great and I love that they recognized those of us who had seen them before and were flexible to the different vibe of an auditorium. Thank you Yonder and FCA for a great show!!

Great show! 5 virtuoso performers. Totally different genre, but they reminded me of the original Mahavishnu-5 incredible musicians at the top of their game and playing as one. Kyle Tuttle with the legendary Daryl Anger wasn’t too shabby either!

I made a deal with my partner that I can go to 4 concerts a year. This was no brainer to choose Yonder as my first show of the year. I have seen this band maybe 4 times and each time feels more fresh and intimate because they really embody their music. You can tell instantly how cohesive and how much they put their heart and soul into their music. It's so easy to get lost in their grooves, I can see why they have been thriving for so many years. I look forward to seeing them again soon!!

Haven't been to a show here in ages. Old school small live music venue. Bummer for me it is over an hour away. Of course, YMSB gave an awesome high energy show. Guys, Don't let another 20 years go by before coming back this way. j

Great show! Neither of the bands ever disappoint. Lou Reed's "Walk On the Wild Side" cover bluegrass style. Daniel Donato shreds, hell, they all do. Three guys playing the same bass at the same time at once? It happened. Great venue too. Along the Ohio River outside and you can bring your own chairs, food vendor on site, plenty of bar tenders.

The band was amazing!! However, we purchased upgraded seats and when we got there, the only tables/seats left in that balcony/upgraded section were not on the rail which meant that we couldn't see the stage from our seats. Not worth the extra money for those seats. They shouldn't sell upgraded seats without a view of the stage.

Yonder has been playing bluegrass music for 25 years and they stated during the show that this venue was unique and special and they had never played at such a cool venue. Codfish Hollow is amazing along with the staff and attendees. Never have I had a negative experience there! The show was great and the sold out crowd could not have had a better time. Can't wait for the next show there!

These gentlemen know how to have fun! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen them and the first time ever indoors! Old Rock House is always a great venue with an amazing staff to keep the party safe. I took my 4 wk old with me, ear muffs and all. Having the ability to step outside and still enjoy the band is righteousness at its best. It was truly a blessing to be there and these men rocked, showing many of us the light. Music connects us and our society wants connection.

Yonder came to the Tractor ready to put on a good show and they delivered. They always are well-rehearsed and tight, each player’s leads very good. Second set covers of Stop Making Sense and Whipping Post were great!

Haven't seen them before but they were on my list and I was looking forward to it. Was NOT disappointed! A very versatile group, playing on a strong triple billing. They led off and were ahead of Leftover Salmon coming into the stretch, but Railroad Earth blew them both away coming round the final turn (at least from my perspective). I'll definitely be looking to see YMSB again tho. Great show - and thanks! As for the venue, CSM still has something to offer in terms of being a beautiful and intimate setting, but the Live Nation takeover has not added anything positive. None of the venue staff outside seemed to know what the heck was going on, crowd control inside is a lot more oppressive, the premium seating is a joke, the huge metal cabana scaffolding in particular is an affront to the senses and the overall aesthetic of the venue, and don't even get me started on the price gouging. It's a shame, but I doubt we'll see as much music there in the future. We used to really look forward to going there, but it's just not as welcoming an atmosphere to pay what, due to the small venue size, were already premium prices.

Yonder was amazing!! The venue, not so much. First concert I have ever been to where I was told I could not dance at my seat, or "those seats w none behind them due to fire hazard". But they did let me dance in the middle of the exit corridor! Seems like would the fire hazard. Yonder put on an incredible almost 2 hour straight set show!! Love these guys!!

First set was smokin. My first two YMSB shows this weekend, but I will definitely be seeing these guys again. Grey Eagle is OK, but low ceilings not so great for acoustics. FYI on coatcheck...you can leave your coat on the floor. Not joking.

Enjoyed the show! The Grey Eagle is small and inside it is easy to find a spot to enjoy the music. Limited seating available in the bar area just off the venue if you want to grab a bite.

The venue was at a c****o, outside near the horse track. We had VIP seating so we were very close to the stage and had a server who brought food and drink orders. The weather was a little iffy, but the rain quit right after the opening act started. The band was awesome. They played some of my favorites. I will see the em again.

It's always a pleasure to see YMSB, and no different this time. With a gentle rain falling they provided an intimate show that was kickin'. A great mix of old and new, with a few covers thrown in, including Rock n Roll by VU, which was awesome.

Really enjoyed the show. The Traveling McCrory’s were a tremendous surprise. Great musicians. Played about 85 minutes. Yonder was awesome as usual. Alli did her awesome rendition of Misty Mountain the band was as tight as ever. Love Bens voice. Didn’t realize Jacob wasn’t with the band but his replacement was very good with a surprise that he also plays fiddle and he and Alli did one song playing off each other. Excellent version of Candyman. Perhaps best I’ve ever heard. New Dusty Miller is one of my favorites. The 3 song encore brought all 10 musicians together for some traditional bluegrass (RockyMountain Breakdown?) and a wonderful Brown Eyed Woman which about brought the house down. Great show. Don’t think I’ll make it to Immokolee for the bluegrass festival, but I’m sure it will be great. Think Dawg will be performing too. Jannus is a different type of venue but my 65 year old legs kept me standing ok. Don’t miss this show if it comes near you.

Small intimate club setting! Highlights of the show: 1. Allie Kral. She stole the show. She not only shreds on the fiddle, but her stage presence is awesome. 2. Jolene, Dolly’s classic has never sounded better. 3. E.M.D...holy c**p! One of my favorite songs by The David Grisman Quintet, I never thought any one could do it better, but I was wrong. Jake Joliff ripped through the mandolin solos with surgical precision. His blazing pace was unbelievable! I had to literally pick my jaw up off the floor. 3. Traffic Jam. Just a great song/jam. Could’ve done without some of the extended jams. In a club setting, when they started, the crowd involvement wained. I could literally hear people talking, “So I closed the Johnson account.” I think the extended jam maybe works better at the larger outdoor festivals. Maybe I’m wrong. Also what ever was on the floor was sooooo sticky I could barely pull my feet off the floor to dance/groove.

Yonder killed it! Venue had some pretty great food but ideally not the absolute best place to see a band that you want to pay attention to because of all the bachelorette party buses going in and out. I did have fun people watching and they seemed to be having a good time to so that is a plus despite them being so distracting because of their chatter. I do appreciate that the venue had the volume up enough to drown out most of the chatter though. Maybe a little more standing room by the stage for people that are more into the band to separate them from the ones that are just there for the drinks.

It’s been at least a decade since I’ve seen Yonder live. Jeff Austin was still in the band. Going in, I was hesitant that it would be as good as I remember. This version of Yonder is amazing. Jacob and Allie are perfect fits. Jacob is a legend, and Allie knows what to do to make you lose your mind during jams. Thank you all. We had a better time than anyone else that was in the South Side of Pittsburgh on a Friday night.

Holy c**p! They played from 10-12:45 and I was blown away the entire time. Once they started, the energy and intensity only increased as the show continued. Their version of Edgar Winter’s Frankenstein was definitely the highlight of evening!
