(785) 843-0011 CONCERT Yonder Mountain String Band has created their own genre that raises traditional bluegrass to a whole new level - neo grass. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Yonder Mountain String Band to play Liberty Hall LYNDSEY HAVENS lhavens@kansan.com Yonder Mountain String Band will play at Liberty Hall tomorrow night. The set will showcase songs from the band's latest album, "The Show," as well as feature new material on their next studio album, which is due out sometime this year. This Colorado quartet can be considered a bluegrass band, but they definitely have roots in rock as well. As a result, they have come up with what they call neo-bluegrass. According to the band's bio, "Yonder has always played music by its own design. Bending bluegrass, rock and countless other influences, they've come to pioneer a sound that they alone could only champion." The quartet consists of Adam Aijala (guitar, vocals), Jeff Austin (mandolin, vocals), Dave Johnston (banjo, vocals) and Ben Kaufmann (bass, vocals). Their bio continues to explain what exactly sets this band apart from others, saying that although they have a traditional lineup of instruments and may appear to be a traditional bluegrass band at first glance, they have truly transcended genre. The group just hit their 14th year together, and still continues to sell out top venues on their tour across the country. Scottie Blomberg, a freshman from Chicago, is excited that Lawrence is included in the tour. "I'm excited that YMSB is coming to Lawrence because they're a straight bluegrass band that plays like a jam band from the 70s. They're probably one of the best bluegrass bands around and can play the hell out of Grateful Dead songs," he said. MUSIC Fans like Blomberg are exactly who the band looks to draw in. "The Yonder Mountain boys have found a formula that works: take rootsy bluegrass influences, add in some rock 'n' roll, and seek out an adventurous audience," said Paste Magazine. Aside from working toward the release of their new album, the band has kept busy performing on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, playing shows with Dave Matthews, and most recently selling out the 9,000-seat Red Rocks Amphitheater. Lucky enough, they found the time to stop by Lawrence. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25. Edited by Brian Sisk RYAN WRIGHT rwright@kansan.com Rapper J. Cole excites fans with five-track EP release Over the past few years J. Cole has made a name for himself as one of hip-hop's most promising young artists. Currently Cole is preparing his follow up to his 2011 debut album "Cole World: The Sideline Story." In an effort to hold over excited fans, he released a free five-track EP, "Truly Yours." Does this freebie stack up to his previous releases? All five tracks have a smooth, jazz-type sound which perfectly fits Cole's lyrics. The production on this EP is reminiscent of Cole's earlier work, such as his 2009 mixtape "The Warm Up." Fans of that will be pleased. Similar to the College Dropout era Kanye, J. Cole's relatable lyrics are the force behind his popularity. Most of what makes J. Cole so popular are his relatable lyrics. On the EP Cole touches a multitude of topics such as family issues, drug abuse and struggling to make it in the entertainment industry. Throughout the EP Cole proves time and time again that he is a vriest. Hands down the best track on the EP is "Tears for ODB," where Cole paints a bleak picture of reality about drug abuse. The title of the track is also a nod to deceased member of the Wu-Tang Clan ODB, who tragically died from a drug overdose in 2004. Another standout track is "Stay" which happens to be a previously unreleased track from 2009. It features both great production and two solid verses from Cole. "Yours Truly" proves to be a solid release. If J. Cole's upcoming record, "Born Sinner," resembles this effort in any way, fans have something to look forward to.
