To celebrate their upcoming 30th anniversary in 2019, Colorado’s very own polyethnic cajun slamgrass outfit, Leftover Salmon, has announced an upcoming tour and brand new book, Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival! Set for release in February 2019 by Rowman and Littlefield, the new book–written by critically acclaimed author Tim Newby–will explore Leftover Salmon through their 30 years, and include personal recollections of its band members, family, friends, former band-mates, managers, and the countless musicians they have influenced.
The six-piece band comprised of founding members Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt, along with Greg Garrison, Andy Thorn, Alwyn Robinson, and Eric Deutsch, are showing no signs of slowing down, as they are coming off the release of their most recent 2018 studio album, Something Higher. To celebrate their 30th anniversary, Leftover Salmon has announced 18 new “Stories From The Living Room” shows, which will feature rare acoustic performances in intimate settings with a special focus on the new book.
