Former Yonder Mountain String Band member Jeff Austin is currently in the midst of a three-show run with The Big Wu’s Chris Costino.

The mandolinist and guitarist first crossed paths at 2000’s Big Wu Family Reunion when Austin sat in during one of Big Wu’s sets. The current shows are the first time the two have played together in 11 years.

Dubbed “Songs From The Tin Shed Revisited Tour,” a reference to Austin and Castino’s collaborative album from 2003, the mini-tour kicked off last night at The Herring Lounge in Duluth, MN.

The folk and bluegrass collaboration continues tonight at Minneapolis, MN’s Dakota Jazz Club and comes to a close tomorrow evening at The Aquarium in Fargo, ND.
