Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy that marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime 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, stirring any number of highly combustible styles into their sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene, to elder-statesmen of the scene, casting a huge influential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon is a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while pushing that sound forward 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 ever assembled. Built around the core of founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, the band is now powered by banjo-wiz Andy Thorn, and driven by the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison, drummer Alwyn Robinson, and dobro player & keyboardist Jay Starling.
They continue the storied history of Salmon, which found them first emerging from the progressive bluegrass world, coming of age as one the original jam bands, rising to become architects of what has become known as Jamgrass.
