“There has been a jam band-sized hole in bluegrass over the past few years, and Yonder Mountain String Band returns just in time to lift the genre up once again.” – Glide Magazine

Yonder Mountain String Band, a driving force in roots music for nearly three decades and a key player in the progressive jamgrass movement, is kicking off a new chapter with their latest project Nowhere Next. This new venture follows their 2022 album Get Yourself Outside, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. 

Nowhere Next showcases the musical talents and collaborative writing efforts of founding members Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Dave Johnston (banjo, vocals), and Ben Kaufmann (bass, vocals) alongside multi-instrumentalist Nick Piccininni (mandolin, banjo, fiddle, vocals), a five-year veteran whose contributions as a singer and instrumentalist shine throughout the record. Coleman Smith (fiddle) makes his studio debut, adding a vibrant layer that complements the band’s overall dynamic, and Grammy-winning Dobro legend Jerry Douglas brings his signature style to three standout tracks: “Here I Go,” “Wasting Time,” and “Didn’t Go Wrong.”

Featuring original songs inspired by the lived experiences, people, and places that have shaped them, Nowhere Next is a mix of bluegrass, indie rock, and country with soulful, funky grooves that call for a good time. 

Nowhere Next brings together the unique voices and visions of each member, allowing their individual contributions to resonate with a shared openness. Edgy, heartfelt, and full of surprises, Nowhere Next stands out as one of Yonder’s most compelling albums yet, inviting listeners to experience the band at their most vibrant and unrestrained.
