Yonder Mountain prepares for massive summer tour

By Alex Young on June 13th, 2008

On Sunday, the Yonder Mountain String Band will make their first performance at Bonnaroo since 2006 after appearing at the festival in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Yet the Manchester, Tennessee music festival won’t be the only show for the Colorado based band after they revealed an extensive U.S. tour in support of their new live album, Mountain Tracks: Volume 5.

In addition to the tour, Yonder are also gearing up to return to the studio to begin recording their next studio album. The currently untitled follow up to their 2006 self-titled album will mark a continuation with producer Tom Rothrock (Elliott Smith, Beck).
