Leftover Salmon is an American jam band from Boulder, Colorado, formed in 1989. The band’s music is a blend of bluegrass, rock, country, and Cajun/Zydeco. In their fourth decade as a band, Leftover Salmon’s current lineup has been together longer than any other and is one of their strongest ever. Built around founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, the band is now powered by banjo wizard Andy Thorn, the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison and drummer Alwyn Robinson, along with dobro and keyboard player Jay Starling. This lineup continues Salmon’s storied history, which began with their roots in progressive bluegrass and evolved as they became one of the original jam bands and the architects of what is now known as jamgrass.
