That mandolin player is Jeff Austin, bass is Ben Kaufmann, guitar is Adam Aijala and the banjo is Dave Johnston 🔥🔥

Jeff Austin is the mandolin player. He left Yonder in 2014, and passed away in June of last year. He was an absolute force of nature as a mandolin player and a frontman. RIP Jeff!

Couldn't make it through this one. I don't have 25 minutes to cry over Jeff today. I'll come back to this one soon. RIP Jeff. Thanks for all the good times!

I was actually at this show. Lived in Denver till 2017. Jeff was a beast on mandolin! "Snow on the Pines" or "No Expectations" would be a couple of phenomenal ones from these guys to also check out. Some String Cheese Incident would also be fun from this genre. Love the bluegrass! Keep it coming!

RIP Jeff Austin... Will always be one of may favorite performers

Jeff Austin's music changed the trajectory of my life in the best ways possible. thanks for doing this

Jeff Austin was AMAZING!!! One of the most charismatic frontmen in the game until his untimely departure. You should check out something from the Jeff Austin Band... PURE FIRE!!!!!

Thanks for the shout out Michael! We look forward to taking the stage with you soon. Sorry I didn't make it clear that Jeff was the Mandolin player. Great video as always!

Don't apologize! It makes this vid sooo much better imo. From the thumbs up at 12:30, the comments at 13:00 and 14:00. All fans of the

[@zhaney27]

I was fortunate enough to see Yonder over 30 times. Mostly with Jeff at the helm. He could drive that ship into dimensions of your soul you never knew had that much joy in them. YMSB had a groove, a funk, and a swagger all their own. Thank you so much for this episode. One of the best channels on youtube. Now --- would love to see you do something from moe. | Chuck Garvey and Al Schnier are the Zappaesque duo you never knew you needed. Ive both literally and metaphorically seen champagne fall from the heaves at a moe. concert.

It was always amazing the vibe all of us we get it the crowd. All worries gone for those few hour's

[@exdemocrat9038]

See you at the next Moe. Down.

[@timhamann9523]

Jeff had so much energy in his playing. I consider myself lucky enough to see them several times in the early 2000’s. My first time seeing them @Vic Theater Chi we were dancing with an older woman that was later announced at set break on stage as Jeff’s mother. Thank you for all the fuel you gave us Jeff!

[@DerBlutenPat1348]

My first jam band show was Yonder at canopy club in Urbana, IL in spring 2013. Opened up a whole world of new music for me. Never saw him with yonder again but I did get to see his solo band a handful of times, and a few 30db (him and Brendan Bayliss from UM) shows. I got to see Jeff’s last live performance ever which was a 30db show at a street festival in Chicago, when they played right before Billy Strings. I miss that crazy bug eyed madman. Gone way too soon.

[@johnny85er]

I haven't watched much old yonder since he passed, thank you for reminding me, he had the BEST stage energy ever

Jeff Austin is the mandolin player and Adam Aijala is the guitar player. :) thanks for the great video as usual!!!

[@jordanbenge94]

Haha as soon as I heard it I figured everyone would be all over you. But another great video. Having seen Jeff multiple times before he passed, there is no doubt he is one of my favorite musicians of all time. He put his entire giant heart into every song every time he played and is probably one of the most kind people that has ever lived. The way that he engages with the crowd is something I have very rarely experienced in all the other shows I’ve been to. Everyone that ever had the chance to see him will never forget him and I’m sure misses him like crazy. RIP to the king of the ball!!!

[@Illumignostic]

These guys produced some of the best psychedelic music ever. Leftover Salmon live in early 2000's defy's belief as well.

[@brandonbloemendaal7924]

I know you've done Marcus King Band already but his live performance of Goodbye Carolina at the Grand Ole Opry is incredible. And since you love great authentic song writing you will certainly love the story behind this song. He was in a hotel thinking on a friend who was a songwriter himself who had passed away I think the year prior. He describes how that friend basically came to him and wrote the song through him. Marcus says he doesn't really even think of it as his song but actually his friend's song that he gets the honor of performing. Love your channel and how many great artists I've discovered from it. Thanks again for what you do and the great support it brings to this genre of music!

Anything else I would suggest (like THAT version of Cliffs of Dover live) has already been watched a million times. Thank you for the content, I share it in several places, usually. It's very relaxing and educational, even Tool. :-) Be well and stay safe - I hope none of us ever get tired of learning.
