Garrett Anderson to release new album, Dreams and Lives

Armed with a sharp, inquisitive storyteller’s eye and the soul of a poet-troubadour is singer/songwriter Garrett Anderson, who with his deeply personally songwriting, that he delivers with a soulfully-sweet sincerity, is set to release his new album, Dreams and Lives. 

Thanks to Westword!

Big thank you to Denver's Westword for the great review of my new book, Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival!.  They called the book a "fitting ode" to the band that "takes the reader on a wild odyssey."

Reed Foehl To Release 5th Studio Album, Lucky Enough, Feb 1, 2019

Looking forward to this new album from Reed Foehl.  This is going to be good. 

With the Feb. 1, 2019, release of Reed Foehl's fifth solo album, Lucky Enough, fans will get a dose of powerful medicine, a cathartic collection of 10 songs that Foehl recorded with help from a mighty musical force, The Band of Heathens, It’s an album that will undoubtedly solidify his standing as one of the most compelling and vital Americana artists around.
On Lucky Enough, Foehl touches on a range of Americana styles, all with emotionally charged lyrics and can’t-get-out-of-your-head choruses, from somber folk elegies (“Stealing Starlight” and “American Miles”)  and gospel-tinged tunes (“Carousel Horses”) to barroom country singalongs (“Long Time to Make Old Friends”) and jaunty calypso-flavored, country-infused pop (“Wish I Knew”). These are deeply personal songs for Foehl, and while they were written during some dark days, there’s a sense of optimism and gratitude, an overriding feeling that the hope outshines the heartbreak.

Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival

From Leftover Salmon:

Nearly 4 years ago, author Tim Newby approached us about writing a book and we gave him our blessing and the go ahead. As we are about to enter our 30th year as a band, that book has now gone to print and will be available starting in February 2019 through a Pre-order now available here. Through his extensive research, hours of interviews, and passion for the musical community we’re all a part of and love, Tim presents his next book “Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival!”- the story of Leftover Salmon over the past 3 decades. 

The best time of the year; The Bridge's annual Thanksgiving eve Shows!

Everyone prepares for the holiday in different ways; we travel, we cook, we decorate, we prepare to avoid discussing politics at the dinner table.  For some in Baltimore there is another tradition we prepare for that signifies the start of the holiday season, The Bridge's annual Thanksgiving eve shows.  The band was born on Thanksgiving even in 2001, and even though the band called it quits as a full time band a few years ago, they still get together every Thanksgiving eve to remind everyone of their greatness.

Announcing My New Book: ‘Leftover Salmon: Thirty Years of Festival!’ Due Out Feb 2019

Few bands stick around for thirty years. 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. Since 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.
