Leftover Salmon
FREE CONCERT ~ Gondola Square
April 14th ~ 4pm
Looking back over the past 25 years of rootsy, string-based music, the impact of Leftover Salmon is impossible to deny.

If Leftover Salmon had never played another note after leaving the stage in 2005, the legacy would have been secure; the members’ names etched in the books of history.
