SUMMARY:Yonder Mountain String Band with Hickman\, Anick & Woodsmith
DESCRIPTION:Yonder Mountain String Band\, a driving force in roots music for nearly three decades and a key player in the progressive jamgrass movement\, kicks off a new chapter with Nowhere Next. Featuring original songs inspired by lived experiences\, people\, and places that have shaped them\, the album is a mix of bluegrass\, indie rock\, and country with soulful\, funky grooves that call for a good time. Their 11th studio album follows the Grammy-nominated Get Yourself Outside (2022)\, adding depth and momentum to Yonder’s rich musical legacy. \nNowhere Next showcases the musical talents and collaborative writing efforts of founding members Adam Aijala (guitar\, vocals)\, Dave Johnston (banjo\, vocals)\, and Ben Kaufmann (bass\, vocals)\, alongside multi-instrumentalist Nick Piccininni (mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle\, vocals)\, a five-year veteran whose contributions as a singer and instrumentalist shine throughout the record. Together\, they co-wrote nine of the eleven tracks\, artfully blending their unique perspectives and vocal ranges to give each song its own distinct character. Coleman Smith (fiddle) makes his studio debut\, adding a vibrant layer that complements the band’s overall dynamic. Grammy-winning Dobro legend Jerry Douglas brings his signature style to three standout tracks: “Here I Go\,” “Wasting Time\,” and “Didn’t Go Wrong.” \nBalancing nostalgia and innovation\, Nowhere Next captures the essence of Yonder’s journey\, transitioning from reflective storytelling to adventurous\, genre-defying excursions. Tracks like “Leave the Midwest\,” “Cruisin’\,” and “The Truth Fits” highlights their gift for narrative\, while “Nowhere Next\,” “Here I Go\,” and “Wasting Time” reveal their capacity for the unexpected. “Come See Me\,” “Second Hand Smoke\,” and “Outlaw” nod to tradition with a touch of country that complements the band’s signature style. The album also pays homage to Yonder’s storied past\, breathing new life into two classics from the Yonder catalog\, “River”(written by Yonder Mountain String Band) and “Didn’t Go Wrong” (written by Shawn Camp and Billy Burnette)\, reaching back over two decades. \nProduced by Yonder Mountain String Band\, Nowhere Next brings together the unique voices and visions of each member\, where their contributions resonate with a shared openness. This collective synergy forges a powerful bond within the band\, making each track feel both grounded and alive with their connection. Edgy\, heartfelt\, and full of surprises\, Nowhere Next stands out as one of Yonder’s most compelling albums yet\, inviting listeners to experience the band at their most vibrant and unrestrained. \n“Nowhere Next showcases the flawless musicianship of Yonder Mountain String Band\, resulting in yet another gem of an album.” – No Depression \n \n\nwith Hickman\, Anick & Woodsmith\nCelia Woodsmith (vocals\, guitar)\, Jason Anick (violin)- both Kittery natives- and Zachariah Hickman (bass) are a powerhouse trio of seasoned performers\, each a mainstay of the vibrant New England music scene. Longtime friends and collaborators\, the three share not only a deep musical connection but a joyful exhilaration that shines through every performance. \nCelia Woodsmith (Della Mae\, Say Darling)  is a Grammy-nominated vocalist\, songwriter\, and guitarist known for her fierce intensity and emotional depth. Jason Anick (Rhythm Future Quartet)\, a virtuoso violinist and genre-defying composer\, brings dazzling improvisation and classical finesse to the group. Zachariah Hickman (Ray Lamontagne\, Josh Ritter)\, a charismatic and inventive bassist\, anchors the trio with groove\, warmth\, and superb musicianship. \nThough each artist boasts an impressive solo and collaborative résumé\, it’s their rare performances together that generate something special. Fueled by camaraderie and good songs\, this trio delivers spontaneous\, deeply musical\, and joyful sets. \n \n \n \n\nReservations\nTable and blanket reservations are non-refundable\, but can be transferred to another available date in the 2025 season. \nPlease Note: General Admission Donations do not include reserved seating.
