Leftover Salmon comes to Minglewood tomorrow night to celebrate the book of life. Thirty years ago, high amongst the mystical mountain tops of Crested Butte, jam-grass was born. Two bands joined forces on New Year’s Eve and turned bluegrass on its head.

Leftover Salmon was born out of necessity and the result was a career of destiny. Drew Emmitt and Glenn Keefe filled in for a few members of The Salmon Heads and what was Leftover has remained fresh for nearly thirty years.

I first witnessed the funniest band on earth at Newby’s in the mid nineties and their musical blend of bluegrass, mixed with literally every genre imaginable was absolutely a highlight of my professional groupie career. I will never forget how it felt when bluegrass inspired Zeppelin classics danced alongside such infectious originals as “Pasta on the Mountain”. I personally had a shit eating grin, while my feet understood the joy moments ahead.
