COLORADO'S YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND
Announces Summer 2008 Tour
Including Co-Headline Tour w/ KELLER WILLIAMS and RED ROCKS
 YMSB |
This summer promises to be an eventful summer for Yonder Mountain String Band, with the release of a brand new live album, Mountain Tracks: Volume 5, summer festivals, a co-headline tour with Keller Williams, the band's return to Red Rocks, and plans to head back into the studio with producer Tom Rothrock.
As we reported last week, Yonder will co-headline a summer tour with longtime friend and musical colleague Keller Williams. Williams and YMSB hit the road together in summers past, on such tours as Acoustic Planet and Big Summer Classic. For the 2008 season, look for stops throughout the South, as well as in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountain regions.
After the run of shows with Keller, Yonder will return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre this summer August 2. Last year was the first time the Nederland, CO-based band headlined Red Rocks (and sold it out), located in Morrison, CO just forty miles from where Yonder formed nearly ten years ago. The show went down as one of the most exciting shows in the band's history and the band can't wait to get back to their hometown crowd at the beautiful, natural outdoor amphitheatre. Keller Williams will kick off the show this year. The singer-songwriter, and guitar virtuoso will bring his equally quirky, upbeat, and semi-surreal songs (which he frequently weaves into extended, half-improvised medleys) and his warm, friendly tenor singing voice.
As a special treat for local Boulder fans and for those traveling into Colorado for the Red Rocks show, Yonder will perform at the Boulder Theater the night before Red Rocks on August 1. (Tickets to the Boulder Theater will only be available as a two-day ticket package with Red Rocks.)
In between their busy touring schedule, Yonder will head back into the studio with producer Tom Rothrock (Elliot Smith, Beck), who also produced the last Yonder studio record, Yonder Mountain String Band. The continuation of the studio collaboration with Rothrock at the helm promises to be an amazing creative process for the band.
