After weeks of rumors Leftover Salmon has released an official statement regarding its future plans. The band has confirmed that following its New Years Eve performance that it will take time off the road.
The groups statement notes, Mark wanted us to continue after he left the band and that’s what we did. We have toured just as hard, rebuilt the band and put out a new record. Now we feel that we can take a break without letting him down. We’re all very proud of our latest release, Leftover Salmon, and after experiencing so many ups and downs, it feels right to step back while on this high. We want to thank the Salmon family, our friends, and especially our fans as this dream would have never come true if it wasn’t for you. We look forward to seeing your faces as we continue to perform in various projects and hope you will all support our decisions and future ventures. This band has created a lifetime of memories for us and that is something that can never go away. The Festivaaal will go on. We will be performing several shows and festivals throughout the summer and play our 3rd annual Halloween celebration at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver on Saturday October 30th this year. After that, the final show will be New Year’s Eve which marks 15 years to the date of the first Leftover Salmon performance. We are excited to reach such a milestone and hope all who can will join us this New Year’s.
