The Appalachian Uprising will kick off today at Eden Valley Farm in Scottown, OH. Featuring Yonder Mountain String Band, Hot Buttered Rum String Band, Old School Freight Train, Shanti Groove and Sam Bush Band, the three-day campout will explore where bluegrass and jam-rock meet. Boasting a tagline which reads ‘a celebration exposing the true art and soul of Appalachia without exploiting the people or this beautiful land,’ the Appalachian Uprising will reportedly keep an eye on the environment.

In other Yonder Mountain String Band news, the group is currently tallying fan responses to help determine what songs will be included on its forthcoming Mountain Tracks: Vol. 4. The new live set will also boast fan
art and pictures.
