On December 30 and 31, Leftover Salmon will celebrate 20 years as a band at the Boulder Theater! On New Year’s Eve 1989 the band and its name Leftover Salmon was born. Left Hand String Band members Drew Emmitt and Glenn Keefe joined Vince Herman and members of Herman’s band the Salmon Heads for a gig at Crested Butte’s club The Eldo. The morphing of these two bands created the name Leftover Salmon while on the drive from Boulder to Crested Butte that day and the gig that night created the band that will have been swimming for 20 years as of this New Year’s Eve.
Presale Tickets will go on sale for both shows through fan ticketing this Wednesday September 2 at 10 a.m. MST. There are only a limited amount tickets that will be sold through fan ticketing.
