MB ROAD TRIP
Fresh from the famed Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Colorado's Yonder
Mountain String Band hits the road this month with co-headliner, guitar
and loop-pedal maniac Keller Williams. The acts share the stage at the
House of Blues in Myrtle Beach on Sat. June 28 at 9 p.m. Tickets are
$30 ($25 adv.). Yonder, a decade-old bluegrass quartet, is currently
supporting their fifth installment of a live album series, Mountain Tracks: Vol. 5
— a double-disc, 24-song collection featuring cuts chosen by the band.
Disc one offers up tracks from various shows that span their recent
career. Disc Two pulls from a 2007 show in Columbus, Ohio. Keeping true
to form, Yonder has put together a fine sampling of live recordings
that exemplify their energy-laden bluegrass. At the House of Blues,
fans can expect lots of foot stompin' improv, uptempo jams, and,
inevitably, a little help from Keller, too. For ticket info, check out www.yondermountain.com. Check the venue's full schedule at www.hob.com. —John Zara
