Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special\, once in lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. \nSince their earliest days as a forward thinking\, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound\, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene\, to their current status as elder statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play\, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly\, unique style. \nSalmon is a band who over their thirty year career has never stood still; they are constantly changing\, evolving\, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show\, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch\, to the down and dirty Cajun swamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans\, to the hallowed halls of the Ryman in Nashville\, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado. \nGuest Artists\nThis year marks our 4th Annual High Country Kaua’i and with it we are welcoming a whole new group of friends to help us celebrate in fine fashion. Friday will feature Holly Bowling\, Saturday Sam Bush\, and Sunday BEYA. \nFriday and Saturday from 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM our beautiful lanai stage overlooking the Makaleha mountain range and Wai Koa forest preserve will feature afternoon sets from Kapali Long and Jason Carter and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes. \nSaturday and Sunday from roughly 11 AM – 1 PM will both be greeted by the Pinehearts for our Bluegrass brunch with an extra special set of Mac Miller songs performed by Andy Thorn on Sunday. \nShow Details and Venue Rules\nThis show is ALL AGES.
