5:30pm Early Access | 6 PM DOORS | 6:15PM SHOW

Opening Band - Sicard Hollow

Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that timethat marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon.

Since their earliest days as a forward thinking, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jam band scene, to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a hugeinfluential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link inkeeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same timepushing that soundforward with their own weirdly, unique style.

The band now features a lineup that has been together longer than any other in Salmon history and is one of the strongest the legendary band has ever assembled. Built around the core of founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, the band is now poweredby banjo-wizAndy Thorn and driven by the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison,drummer Alwyn Robinson, and dobro player & keyboardist Jay Starling.

The current lineup is continuing the long, storied history of Salmon which found them first emerging from the progressive bluegrass world and coming of age as one the original jambands, before rising to become architects of what has become known as Jamgrass andhelping to create a landscape where bands schooled in the traditional rules of bluegrasscan break free of those bonds through nontraditional instrumentation and an innate ability to push songs in new psychedelic directions live.Salmon is a band who for more than thirty years has never stood still; they are constantlychanging, evolving, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch, to the down-and-dirty Cajunswamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, to the hallowed halls of the Rymanin Nashville, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado.
