Yonder Mountain String Band and Railroad Earth are currently three shows into their eight-show run together and have collaborated on several occasions. On their first night together, June 26 at Sumter Amphitheater in Papillion, NE, Yonder and Jeff Austin-substitute Allie Kral and Jake Joliff joined Railroad Earth in the encore for “Ruben’s Train.”

The following night in Kansas City, MO at Crossroads, Yonder took their turn as headliner and welcomed out Railroad Earth for a two-song encore of “Everybody Knows This is Nowhere” and the closing “Shady Grove.”

While both bands performed at Milwaukee’s Summerfest last night, there were no collaborations between the two. However, Yonder did welcome out Lake Street Dive for a run through “Criminal” and “Second That Emotion.”

Yonder and Railroad will once again share the stage on July 4 in Cincinnati, OH.
