KHOL · Guitarist Adam Aijala’s Passion for Music Runs Deep

For the past 20 years, Yonder Mountain String Band has been pushing the envelope, fusing bluegrass with elements of rock, progressive and world music.

YMSB co-founder and guitarist, Adam Aijala, is also one of four members of Yonder Salmon Dusters, a curated group of bluegrass and jam band all-stars.

In advance of the sold-out Yonder Salmon Dusters shows at the Center for the Arts in Jackson, Aijala joined us in the KHOL studios to discuss the benefits of a forced reset, the early days of YMSB and the collaborative process behind the creation of their next record.
