Following an unforgettable GRAMMY Week celebrating the legacy of The Grateful Dead, Bent River Records proudly releases “Box of Rain,” a heartfelt tribute to Phil Lesh and The Grateful Dead, featuring Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon. This collaboration infuses the beloved classic with a fresh, roots-driven sound, blending MASSEY’s emotive style with Herman’s signature warmth.

Iconic jamgrass pioneers Leftover Salmon are thrilled to announce their 35th Anniversary Tour, bringing their unique blend of bluegrass, rock, Cajun, and mountain soul to fans across the country. Known for their lively performances and improvisational spirit, Leftover Salmon have been trailblazers in the jam and bluegrass world for decades. This year, they mark a major milestone—35 years of music—with a tour that promises plenty of celebration, special guests, and surprises along the way.

DelFest, the roots music and family festival founded by bluegrass and Americana icon Del McCoury, is thrilled to announce the next round of artists for the 2025 installation of the festival.

Today, Leftover Salmon & Kitchen Dwellers have announced they are teaming up to host the “Memorial Day Pick-Nic” at Colorado’s historic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 26, 2025. The show will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Colorado’s “polyethnic cajun slamgrass” pioneers, Leftover Salmon. Both of these bluegrass acts will perform two sets each, accompanied by collaborations with the High Country Horns, as well as some very special guests who have yet to be announced.

As the holiday season approaches, Leftover Salmon is set to return to their true home: the Boulder Theater. These post-Thanksgiving shows have become as integral to the holiday as turkey and pumpkin pie, bringing together fans and family in a celebration of music and community.

Get ready for two unforgettable nights as the legendary Leftover Salmon returns to the Boulder Theater, featuring the iconic Sam Bush, the king of Newgrass, joining them on stage! With special guests Mountain Grass Unit (11/29) and The Fretliners (11/30), this is a weekend of music you won’t want to miss.

Nelson Ledges Quarry Park (NLQP) was an operational rock quarry for nearly 20 years until the late 1950s when mining operations accidentally tapped into an underground freshwater spring. Much like a dinghy with a hole, NLQP quickly filled with water, making it impossible for the miners to continue their work. Operations were shuttered, and local phreaks of all sorts became the only visitors to the 250-acre hidden lake near Garrettsville, Ohio.

Kitchen Dwellers have announced an eight-date July tour kicking off July 3 in Berlin, MD at Burley Oak Brewing Co. The tour will bring the band throughout the East Coast and wrap up on July 13 in Johnstown, PA at SIP Rock and Duck Drop. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 12 at 10 am local.
