Frequently Asked Questions
When and where are the Yonder Mountain String Band shows in Berkeley?
Yonder Mountain String Band is playing a two-night run at The Freight (Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse) in Berkeley, California on Friday, January 30, 2026, and Saturday, January 31, 2026. The venue is located at 2020 Addison Street in downtown Berkeley, just a short walk from the Downtown Berkeley BART station and many restaurants and cafes.
What time do the Berkeley concerts start, and when should I arrive?
Both January 30 and January 31 shows are scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m., as listed on The Freight’s calendar and ticketing pages. Arriving 30–45 minutes early gives you time to navigate Will Call, find your preferred seat or spot, and settle in without missing any of the opening moments.
How can I get cheap tickets for the Berkeley shows?
Ticket marketplaces show general admission prices that can vary significantly, with some listings for the January 30 show starting around the high $70s including fees, and similar ranges for January 31. To save money, compare total prices across multiple sellers before buying, look for standard/general admission instead of premium areas, purchase as early as possible before prices climb near showtime, and keep an eye out for any member or donor discounts The Freight may offer to supporters.
Is the show seated or general admission?
Freight & Salvage is traditionally a seated listening room, but many Yonder Mountain String Band listings for these dates describe general admission, which often means seating is first-come, first-served rather than fully assigned. In practice, this setup lets you choose your favorite vantage point—close to the stage for an immersive view of the picking, or a bit farther back for a broader perspective and relaxed listening atmosphere.
Is the concert all-ages, and are there any age-related policies?
Freight & Salvage is an all-ages, community-focused venue dedicated to traditional and roots music, so these Yonder shows are suitable for a wide range of ages. Families and younger fans are welcome, and adults who plan to enjoy alcoholic beverages should bring valid photo ID to comply with standard venue and bar policies.
What is special about The Freight as a venue for this band?
The Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse is a nonprofit community arts organization known for championing folk, bluegrass, and roots music in an intimate, great-sounding room. Its focus on listening, warm acoustics, and close connection between artists and audience makes it an ideal setting to hear the detail in Yonder Mountain String Band’s harmonies, solos, and storytelling.
What kind of music and atmosphere can I expect at these Berkeley shows?
Yonder Mountain String Band is a progressive bluegrass and jamgrass group that blends traditional instrumentation with improvisation, original songwriting, and a lively, good-humored stage presence. At The Freight, you can expect a mix of high-energy tunes, exploratory jams, and quieter moments, with the crowd leaning in to listen closely but still ready to cheer and respond to the band’s dynamics.
How can I keep my overall night in Berkeley affordable?
To manage costs, consider using BART or other public transit to reach downtown Berkeley instead of paying for parking, and enjoy food at nearby casual spots before the show rather than relying solely on venue concessions. Buying tickets early, sharing travel costs with friends, and setting a simple budget for drinks and merchandise will help you enjoy the full concert experience without overspending.
Where exactly is Freight & Salvage, and what should I know about getting there?
Freight & Salvage sits at 2020 Addison Street in Berkeley’s arts district, close to Shattuck Avenue and only a few minutes on foot from the Downtown Berkeley BART station. The central location makes it easy to pair the show with dinner or drinks nearby, and arriving early helps with smoother entry and better choice of seating or standing area inside the hall.
Are the two Berkeley nights different, and is it worth going to both?
The band’s official tour schedule highlights these Freight dates as “Night 1” and “Night 2,” and Yonder Mountain String Band is known for changing up setlists from show to show rather than repeating the same songs in the same order. Fans who attend both nights are likely to hear a wider selection of material, including deep cuts, new songs, and different jams each evening, making a two-night run feel like a mini-residency rather than a simple repeat performance.
