Yonder Mountain String Band stopped by the KRVM studios this afternoon on their way to a show at the McDonald Theater. It has been 2 years since I last spoke with the band and at that time Ali Kral and Jacob Jolliff had been members of the band for only a few months. Now after a couple of years of touring they seem right at home. Everyone agrees that this band is stronger and better since Kral and Jolliff joined. They treated us with playing two new songs from their upcoming new album "Love Ain't Love" due out in June.

I played a bunch of new music to the station this week. There was plenty to play since I was away last week. 
We also have several groups coming to Eugene including Ha Ha Tonka and Old 97's on Thursday and Yonder Mountain String Band  next weekend followed by Greensky Bluegrass on the 29th of the month. It is so good to have live music in my life!!!
