Emmitt finds life after 'Salmon' - For more than a decade, Colorado-based group Leftover Salmon was one of the most popular bands on the jam-band circuit. The band's lively "Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass" served as an introduction to bluegrass music for many, as Leftover Salmon blended the acoustic instrumentation of bluegrass with the energy of rock 'n' roll.

"We definitely blazed a trail for sure," Drew Emmitt said of Leftover Salmon's influence in a recent interview with Preview. [Charleston Post and Courier]
