Although Jeff Austin was the only band member officially announced, all of the Yonder Mountain String appeared and performed at short set at the Mark Vann Foundation Benefit on Saturday. The night offered numerous artists in various configurations including one extended segment that began with Vince Herman, Drew Emmitt, Bill Nershi, Pete Wernick, Ross Martin and soon expanded to more than a dozen musicians. Back to Yonder, the group has announced a series of 2005 dates including five southern shows with the Del McCoury Band (and more quite possibly to follow).
