Fresh off a run through sunny Florida, Leftover Salmon returns home to Colorado for what has become a holiday tradition. The band will be performing two nights at The Boulder Theater with fellow Coloradan Jeff Austin and his band. It is sure to be a memorable two memorable nights from the godfathers of jamgrass.

Also coming this November is Leftover Salmon and Breckenridge Brewery collaboration Silver Salmon India Pale Lager, a special limited-edition beer, which will be packaged exclusively with the new Leftover Salmon album, 25. For prices and availability, contact your local craft beverage purveyor or utilize Breckenridge Brewery’s Beer Locator found here. The album, 25, will feature twenty five never before released live recordings, and will also be available on iTunes and all digital outlets beginning November 27th.

Looking back over the past 25 years of rootsy, string-based music, the impact of Leftover Salmon is impossible to deny. Formed in Boulder at the end of 1989, the Colorado slamgrass pioneers took their form of aggressive bluegrass to rock and roll bars at a time when it wasn’t so common, helping Salmon become a pillar of the jam band scene and unwitting architects of the jamgrass genre. Today, Leftover Salmon is: Vince Herman (vocals, acoustic guitar, washboard); Drew Emmitt (vocals, acoustic and electric mandolin, electric guitar, fiddle); Andy Thorn (vocals, acoustic and electric banjo); Greg Garrison (vocals, acoustic and electric bass); Alwyn Robinson (drums); Bill Payne (vocals, keyboards).

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
