Vince Herman and Drew Emmitt with Andy Frasco & The UN


Last weekend at High Sierra, Leftover Salmon collaborated with a slew of friends of musical colleagues in their own sets as well as others.

To start, their July 6 outing included a trio of songs (“Flight Of The Durbin,” “Breakin’ Through” and “Boatman”) with Jake Simpson of The Lil’ Smokies adding some extra twang on the fiddle.

The following day, the band hosted a guest-filled late-night set. After opening with a cover of New Riders of the Purple Sage’s “I Don’t Know You” and later covering the Allman Brothers Band’s “Whipping Post,” Leftover Salmon welcomed saxophonist Skerik and organist Maxwell Friedman for their tune “Aquatic Hitchhiker.”

From there, Skerik and Friedman stuck around for Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground,” which included a segue in and out of ZZ Top’s “La Grange” with Leftover Salmon stage manager Jeremey Grant taking over lead vocals.

By the end of Salmon’s late-night gig, they had invited Greensky Bluegrass dobroist Anders Beck to jam on “Keep on Truckin'” and “Zombie Jamboree.”

Outside of their Leftover Salmon sets, vocalist-guitarist Vince Herman and fiddler Drew Emmitt joined Simpson and Andy Frasco & The UN at High Sierra for some onstage antics, performing “It’s Been A Struggle” with plenty of classic rock and country teases within.
