Give now and help us raise $12,000 by June 7.a five-song EP that showcases the group's original lineup — including late mandolin player and impassioned singer Jeff Austin — many fans of the Colorado jamgrass all-stars were thrilled to hear lost takes from when the former frontman was part of the group's well-loved mix.
Yonder, which also just finished working on a new album that includes its present-day lineup and is set for release this November, continues to tour and perform. Its current tour brings the band home to Colorado later this summer for a three-night run with Railroad Earth and Leftover Salmon — at Levitt Pavilion on Friday, August 16, Dillon Amphitheater on Saturday, August 17, and the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater on Sunday, August 18.: We've been gathering together our archives.
We all were struggling in our own ways. My song was written from a place of not knowing if life was worth living anymore. The genesis of the song came from before I'd even met anyone in the band. It was written while I was in college, a year or so before I met Jeff. It came from my general depression at the time. My mental health story is unique to my experiences, but at the time, it was born of some general angst that I felt as a young adult and as a creative person. Artists can struggle.
I'm trying to use my life as an opportunity to make music that's reaching people and having a positive impact. We're finding positivity and wonderful moments by bringing back some of Jeff's songs. Some of the tunes that he made his own we'll never touch, because to do some of what he did, you'd have to suffer profoundly. People genuinely cared about those moments in time. They were profound and possibly life-altering events.
I pray that people find themselves on a path of love, light, health and friendship. Life presents challenges, and hopefully we find ourselves well resourced to handle those challenges when they come. We're all navigating existence to the best of our abilities.
