Wreckless Strangers are thrilled to announce a series of Bay Area performances this spring and summer. The run kicks off on May 11 with a set on the Sweetwater Stage at the Mill Valley Music Festival, where they’ll share the lineup with Gary Clark Jr., Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and more.

Let’s Party About it, Leftover Salmon’s new album, out today via Compass Records, reaffirms their status as pioneers of blended bluegrass and showcases their unmatched musical chemistry. For the first time ever, the band wrote the album together in a single session as a group.  Longtime friend of the band and storied songwriter Aaron Raitiere (Lady Gaga, Lukas Nelson, Ella Langley, Lainey Wilson, Anderson East, The Lone Bellow, Trace Adkins, and more) also joined the band for the writing session.

“I had driven out of Nashville hundreds of times as a touring musician, but this time I was packed up and moving to a different city,” says songwriter, singer, and bassist Shelby Means, who’s spent the majority of her career careening down highways on tour with world-class string bands like Della Mae and the Grammy-winning Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway. The drive she’s remembering here is chronicled in “Suitcase Blues,” the latest single from Means’ debut solo album, Shelby Means.
