Leftover Salmon Turning 35 in Style!

What should you do for your 35th birthday? If you’re Leftover Salmon, you schedule nearly 35 shows — including ten festivals — to get the first half of 2025 off to a raucous, righteous start, of course! You invite some friends to join you along the way, and, mainly you make 35 look damn good!

Their motto?

Live Rowdy, Live Loudly, Stay Up Late,

Make Friends, Make Peace, Make Music.

Sounds about right.

They kick it off January 29 in Hopkins MN, then on to Kansas City, Iowa City, and Appleton WI. There is a short break before a pair of shows at Martini Tree Bar in Taos Ski Valley, next a stop in Park City UT before hitting WinterWonderGrass Steamboat Springs. They will follow that up with three more Colorado dates.

The Leftover Salmon calendar includes a show at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum and appearances at Savannah Music Festival and EMS Spring Bluegrass Festival in Brooksville FL. They’re scheduled for three nights at The Porter Pavilion @ Anaina Hou Community Park with Sierra Hull and Justin Moses, Lindsay Lou, Tavana, and The Pine Hearts.

Festival season flames up with MerleFest, Tico Time Bluegrass Festival, Golden Road Gathering, Dark Star Jubilee, and Sawtooth Valley Gathering, with Grand Targhee Bluegrass Festival and Bender Jamboree later in the summer. And there’s the Memorial Day Pick-Nic at Red Rocks with Kitchen Dwellers and Clay Street Unit.

Leftover Salmon are: Vince Herman – vocals, guitar, washboard; Drew Emmitt – vocals, mandolin, fiddle, electric guitar; Greg Garrison – bass, vocals; Andy Thorn – banjo, electric banjo, vocals; Alwyn Robinson – drums, vocals; and Jay Starling – keyboards, dobro.
