With changing tempos, intricate fingerstyle guitar and rock infused beats, they are anything but predictable.
At the heart of the band are the captivating harmonies of Jason Serious from the USA, on vocals and guitar and David Stewart Ingleton from Australia, on vocals and banjo.

Adding another layer of depth to the Yonder Boys is multi-instrumentalist Tomás Peralta from Chile.
Switching from vocals, mandolin, banjo, and bass, Peralta brings a dynamic range of textures to the group's music.
Their debut album, Acid Folk, garnered critical acclaim and international airplay from the BBC to MTV Australia.
It's a testament to the Yonder Boys' ability to develop music that both resonates and transcends the realm of traditional folk.
