Yonder Mountain String Band put on a phenomenal concert
last night at Lodge Room in the Highland Park section of Los Angeles. It was
one of those nights when everything was just exactly right, and the jams had a fantastic energy and took
us to some interesting places. Jake Simpson from Lil Smokies joined the band on
fiddle for the entire set. And at one point, Nick Piccinni switched from
mandolin to fiddle for some dual fiddle action. It was my first time at the venue,
which opened in 2017. The sound was excellent in the rather intimate space. The
capacity is five hundred, but the show was not sold out, and so there was
plenty of room to dance. The staff was friendly, and the room just had a great
feel about it. It’s definitely a spot I would return to. The show started 8:17
p.m., and, including the encore, was just under two hours. By the way, Jake Simpson
is going to sit in with the band again tonight at their show at Belly Up in
Solana Beach.
Here are a few photos from the show:
Lodge Room is located at 104 N. Ave. 56 in Los Angeles.
