Get ready for world-class bluegrass right outside your door. Fresh off the release of their first album in six years, Black Sheep, Yonder Mountain String Band are playing an evening at Red Rocks before hitting the road for a tour across the American West and parts of Mexico. Nearing their 20th year together, this five-piece bluegrass outfit has been gracing Colorado with their durable and evolving folksy tones since the band’s inception in 1998. Black Sheep marks the first album the group produced on their own, and also their first release on their personal label, Frog Pad Records. Join Yonder Mountain String Band and their diehard fans for a summer eve under the stars.
