The latest episode of The Sound Podcast, a member of the Osiris Media podcast network, features Yonder Mountain String Band banjoist Dave Johnston. Host Ira Haberman’s chat with Johnston focuses on Yonder’s propensity to play covers.
YMSB recently released Hines’ Finds Volume Three: Winter Tour 2019, an EP containing eight covers performed with duo Handmade Moments. Haberman asked Johnston about how the quintet picks the covers they play and how they add their own spin to each tune. Dave also explained how the collaboration with Handmade Moments came together, why jamgrass bands go so heavy on covers, whether Yonder will head back into the studio soon and more.
