Boo! Welcome to the October JamBase Newsletter! Buried deep beneath your box of ticket stubs, old yearbooks and cracked CD cases lies your costume box. Hopefully you're getting ready to reveal to the world your newest masked magnificence for Halloween '04! Ah...but where to go with and shake your stuff? Check out the Nationwide 10/31 Lineup!

This month we've great new stuff on the site like the JamBase Jukebox and some sweet Show Reviews. Also, we don't mean to be annoying but, please be sure to exercise your rights and VOTE (register at Headcount.org) on November 2nd! And as always, Go See Live Music!

 

Don't call them Jamgrass, don't call them Bluegrass. Colorado's Yonder Mountain String Band are the creators of an entirely original and innovative acoustic music that is causing a stir around the world. Only six years as a band, all members share responsibility of writing, singing, and soloing. You may have caught them sharing the stage with legends such as Sam Bush, David Grisman or Bela Fleck to name a few.

Currently, the band has three studio albums. Their newest and third live album effort, Mountain Tracks: Volume 3 is a compilation of some of their sweetest live moments.
