LEFTOVER SALMON
Leftover Salmon’s Drew Emmitt chatted with Jam in the Stream editor Javier Serna this week in a wide-ranging interview. It included talk of the band’s upcoming LP, the influence bands such as Old & in The Way had on jam grass, why Emmitt switched up his touring mandolin, and a memory of the late Jeff Austin.
After his Saturday night show (the third and final show of a three-night run at 1st Bank Center), Billy showed up unannounced at Knew Conscious, an intimate 450-person music venue/art gallery/club to sit in with a lineup billed with guitarist Ross James (Terrapin Family Band) and banjoist Andy Thorn of Leftover Salmon and their Electric Dead Grass project featuring bass player Garrett Sayers (The Motet) and drummer Mark Levy (Circles Around the Sun). They jammed until about 4 in the morning — the stuff of my dreams.
King Buffalo, a pych rock trio from Rochester, N.Y., returns to Saint Paul’s Turf Club Tuesday, Jan. 18. The show tops Jam in the Stream editor Javier Serna’s Minnesota live music picks this week. Find out what other shows are happening.
