Yonder Mountain String Band may be best known for their performance for Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. But while they have reached new heights recently, they have not let the fame get to their heads - tonight, the band will play for a less illustrious (but just as avid) audience, at the Orpheum Theatre at 8 pm.
Often described as a cross between punk/rock and bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band draws their influences from such bands as the Dead Kennedys, Postal Service, and the Johnson Mt. Boys, to name just a few. Listening to only a smattering of their songs, it is hard to definitively categorize them; their music spans so many different genres. While this eclectic musical style has led other bands down the road to failure, for Yonder Mountain String Band, the mix is just right.
The Yonder Mountain String Band will be performing at the Orpheum Theater tonight at 8 pm. Tickets are $30 at the door ($25 in advance).
