Show of the Weekend

Leftover Salmon - “Teen Angst”
11.10.02 - Starr Hill Music Hall - Charlottesville, VA

Before Trampled By Turtles, the Infamous Stringdusters, the Avetts (insert jamgrass band here), there was Leftover Salmon. My love for jamgrass has faded over the years, but back in the late 90s I dug Leftover. This was the last time I caught LoS live, and it was a classic one. David Lowery of Cracker joined LoS for about half of the show, treating us to a few covers and several Cracker tunes.

Both Cracker and Leftover Salmon will be playing Central Virginia this summer. Leftover Salmon will be at Innsbrook Pavilion in Richmond on July 28th, opening for Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers. Cracker is hosting their own festival, Campout East, on June 1st and 2nd in Buena Vista. Check them out if you can!

I’ve been taking a personal listening hiatus from Phish since the New Years run, but summer tour is creeping up. I’ve decided to dip my toe back in the water with one of my favorite Phish shows from the 80s. Enjoy!

Inspired by the artist of the weekend that Fred Wilson and Kirk Love post every weekend, I’m hoping to highlight a show every weekend. I have a lot in my own personal vault to share, which I’ll be uploading to Soundcloud.

First up is a show from my hometown from a hometown band (well, close enough - Gainesville is only 75 miles from Jacksonville). Enjoy.
