Leftover Salmon is a Colorado-born institution that has been redefining the boundaries of American roots music since the late 1980s. Born from the fertile musical soil of Boulder, the band pioneered a genre they proudly call "Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass" — a gloriously untamed fusion of bluegrass, Cajun, rock, and New Orleans funk that defies easy categorization and demands movement on the dance floor.
Founded by Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt, Leftover Salmon became a cornerstone of the jam band scene, earning a devoted following through relentless touring and electrifying live performances that crackle with spontaneous energy. Their shows are legendary celebrations — part musical conversation, part communal experience — where no two nights ever sound quite the same.
Decades into their journey, the band continues to evolve while staying true to the adventurous spirit that launched them. With a catalog rich in heartfelt songwriting and instrumental virtuosity, Leftover Salmon remains a beloved force in American music, bridging generations of fans who share a love for joyful, boundary-pushing sounds. Whether you're a longtime devotee or a first-time listener, their music has an irresistible way of making the world feel a little lighter.
