Finders and Youngberg at Coyote Creek Concerts

Finders and Youngberg are indeed a bluegrass band, but they've added a few elements to their sound and show that
make it seem like this is a band to watch for the new era of Americana Music. Retooled in 2010, the band features the
fiddling of Ryan Drickey, Rich Zimmerman on mandolin, Mike Finders on guitar and harmonica, Erin Youngberg on bass,
and Aaron Youngberg on banjo and pedal steel. Together they sure do play bluegrass, having all served time on the circuit
with various other bands and projects, but together in this band the quintet stretches the genre to include honky-tonk,
old-time, blues and folk sounds. Their thoughtful arrangements and instrumental prowess weave into Mike's
award-winning original songs, and although Erin and Mike share most of the lead vocals, all five members contribute to
the singing in some manner. Best of friends as well as bandmates, the five emit a spontaneous and contagious joy when
they play, gathered around one microphone, and crackin' wise between the songs. The band has a rapidly filling calendar
of performances across the western states, as well as a new recording project underway. Don't miss an opportunity to
catch this band as they land in your neighborhood.

"... It is somewhat rare for
a group who hasn't been
performing together that
long to be able to sound
like they read each other's
musical minds. Their
wonderful blending of
influences is a testament
to the strong bonds music
can forge."

"Excellent songwriting
melds with the superb
musical sensibilities of the
four musicians in this group
to create these truly
remarkable songs. This
album has some bluegrass
on it, but it's more eclectic
than that--drawing upon folk,
blues and country. I want to
make it crystal clear: this
pair of couples is
phenomenal together!"
