“There’s this great duality to our band,” reflects Greensky Bluegrass mandolinist, vocalist, and songwriter Paul Hoffman. “We’re existing in a few different places at once: we’re a bluegrass band and a rock band, we’re song-driven and interested in extended improvisation.”

“We play acoustic instruments,” adds dobro player Anders Beck, “but we put on a rock’n’roll show. We play in bigger clubs and theaters, there’s a killer light show, and we’re as loud as your favorite rock band. It’s not easy to make five acoustic instruments sound like this – it’s something we’ve spent years working on.”

From these seemingly irreconcilable elements, the five members of Greensky Bluegrass have forged a defiant, powerful sound that, while rooted in classic stringband Americana, extends outwards with a fearless, exploratory zeal. The tension and release between these components – tradition and innovation, prearranged songs and improvisation, acoustic tones and electric volume – is what makes them so thrillingly dynamic, in concert and on record. “In theory,” Hoffman explains, “greensky is the complete opposite of bluegrass. So, by definition, we are contrasting everything that isn’t bluegrass with everything that is.”

October in the Ozark Mountains might just be one of the most beautiful
 things you could immerse yourself in.  We hope you
 will join us, along with Yonder Mountain String Band for the 6th
 annual Harvest Music Festival.
This year's festival is four big days and will feature over 50 bands on four stages.
Of course we will be offering a host of food and arts & crafts vendors.
As for non music distractions, be sure take the time to explore  all that the mountain has to offer-
including hiking, biking, fishing, disc golf, float trips on the
Mulberry River, workshops, morning yoga & hoops classes and much more............
 
Tickets may be purchased at yonderharvestfestival.com, but get ‘em
quick, because we are holding total ticket sales to 7,500.  This guarantees
that Harvest Festival will remain an intimate affair for a lucky few. 
There will be plenty of space for everyone to enjoy the mountain to the fullest and it will remain family friendly.
 
Who's playing you ask???
Well, folks, here it is! 
 
We’ll see you on the mountain!
