Agreed.
If you like that sort of thing, check out the masters - The Seldom Scene.
One of the first traditional bluegrass bands to stretch into "popular music." Pre jamband.
If you are not yet familiar with them, check out the original lineup in the early/mid 70s as well as later versions (different members still play).

I thought you left yesterday? Cue Dan Hicks.
Yonder's changed a bit since Jeff Austin left. seems like both he and YMSB are going along just fine on their own.
I'm glad there's a lot of great music to choose from and for people to enjoy in the bluegrass vein, traditional and jammy. "From trad to rad", as they say.
I'm partial to the Stringdusters and Billy Strings for jammy, but sure enjoy a good festival with various takes on the music.
Everybody enjoy their favorite licorice.

Next to the Grateful Dead and
Next to the Grateful Dead and Phish, I have probably seen YMSB more than any other band. Its not that I am a yuge fan (they are decent enough), its just that their annual camp out at Hornings Hideout, Northwest String Summit, is the Best Fest in the West. I have gone many times and end up seeing them night after night by default. Haven't seen them anywhere else.
>>>>Yonder's changed a bit since Jeff Austin left
I know some folks who refuse to go to NWSS or otherwise see YMSB anymore because of their less than amicable split with Jeff Austin.
>>>>Emmitt Nershi Band was the best newgrass band
Agreed.

Yikes.
I play the drums and love drumming, but I love bluegrass bands and the bluegrass sound as well, and for me drummers in "bluegrass" bands are way to heavy and nail everything down too much, losing the light, free-flowing sound of acoustic bluegrass instruments.
For me I think YMSB would really benefit from the addition of a fiddle player.
The best time I ever saw them was at the Fillmore years ago with Darol Anger sitting in, and they SMOKED.

Saw the Emmitt Nershi Band tour the campgrounds at Targhee one year. Sure made a lot of pickers happy. Was real nice to watch. And they were real sweet to the people.

I have never seen them without a fiddle player. All the shows I saw before Jeff left were at NWSS and they always had Darol Anger sitting in. After Jeff left, they added Allie as a full time fiddle player.

Ah. Well, it's been a long time since I've seen them, I didn't know they added a full time fiddle.
Smart move.
They're playing at TxR this weekend. That's a really small, nice little room for them. I'm hoping to make it Sunday, but probably not.
Too bad for me.

I have respect for YMSB, I have respect for every acoustic musician searching for the high lonesome sound, I'm one of them...Yonder fills big shoes and they are the genuine article. My unfiltered thoughts on the "big picture" of acoustic jam band https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_band bluegrass is that it's groovy, but there are a thousand bands doing it, so after a while it kind of gets repetitive and boring. The other thing that drives me crazy [not specific to Yonder] is the twangy twang twanginess of it all for the sake of being twangy, as opposed to Jerry & Dave playing Sitting Here in Limbo where there's no twang whatsoever [I'm pretty sure I was at this one]
https://youtu.be/7QCJ9mflho8
Anyways, like I said, I have mad respect for Yonder, they are truly virtuoso status musicians, it just got to the point in the late nineties up to and including present day when there ended up being a thousand bands trying to do the same thing. I realize that may only resonate with some or none of you, but I thought I'd make mention of it. I believe Del McCoury & Peter Rowan are the most significant bluegrass musicians among us today.

Note: Authentic accents are beautiful because they are real, they are genuine...contrived accents for the sake of being twangy are whatever is the opposite of that, this is one of the most revered subtleties of the art, to get that correct & true, without being inauthentic...Garcia was respectful of that delicate dynamic.

I’ve seen them with a fiddle
I’ve seen them with a fiddle player a bunch. And I’ve actually seen them with a drummer, when billy’s Band was headlining string summit. What I like about them with a drummer, is it tends to force them to push their limits away from just a bluegrass band. Although electric with a drummer they start to sound like string cheese...

Yonder is better now with Allie than before with Jeff.
Agree about Emmit Nershi.

<<Yonder is better now with Allie than before with Jeff>>
Agree!
Jeff was the personality-filled frontman, though lacked high level of skill on the mando...but he knew how to deliver a song and stir the crowd into a frenzy.
I have been enjoying listening to Jacob Joliff's mandolin technique. He is new on the scene, and born and raised in Newburg, Oregon!

I’ve seen them 10-12 times over the last 7 years
mostly at festivals, most recently in Nov. with a Crazy Train encore
fake ymsb is a different band without jeff,
they seem to go further off in the deep end these days
I've no problem with Allie, but
jake seems to me all technique with no soul, however musicians love him
also it looks like being the the front man has not been good for Ben

Not really a big fan of yonder without Jeff. They're not bad, but they just don't get to that "place". In fact, even with him (especially in later years) It'd be a crap shoot if they did. Also wasn't a fan of the way in which the TBF kept Yonder "entrenched" in their prime slots; and at the same time, excluded Jeff from the festival altogether. I think they finally "woke up" this past year or two.

Would love to see them mix it up on this front a bit. Sam Bush joining them the first night of this past NYE run was excellent, but they mostly forced him into their world ... which has gotten a little "heavy handed" for my tastes in past couple of years.
