Editor's Note: Yonder Mountain recently released its first album in almost two years. We previewed some of the music last December.
Progressive bluegrass group Yonder Mountain String Band has a New Year's tradition, playing multiple nights of concerts at the Boulder Theater.
This year, the band will perform Dec. 30 and 31. If you go, you might hear some new music such as the song "Alison" that you can watch the music video above.
The Boulder quintet is at work on a new album, which is expected to be released in 2017.
