Located at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas the Yonder Mountain String Band's 2012 Harvest Music Festival will take place October 13-16 providing 4 days of exciting music. The music is bluegrass by its roots but the tree evolves into rich braches including acoustic, Americana, progressive, newgrass and more.

Yonder Mountain String Band has always played music by its own set of rules. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences that the band cites, Yonder has pioneered a sound of their own. With their traditional lineup of instruments, the band may look like a traditional bluegrass band at first glance but they’ve created their own music that transcends any genre. Dave Johnston points out “What could be more pure than making your own music.” Yonder’s sound cannot be classified purely as “bluegrass” or “string music” but rather it’s an original sound created from “looking at music from [their] own experiences and doing the best job possible.” The band continues to play by their own rules on their new record The Show.

Following that model, the group's festival is just as diverse with everything from the hard traditional bluegrass to a full acoustic sound and into the realm of the progressive. Never boring and always something new.
