Leftover Salmon Announces Extensive Summer Tour For New Album, ‘Something Higher’

Leftover Salmon is currently in for a huge 2018. On May 4th, the Colorado-based genre-bending American roots band will release Something Higher, a follow-up to 2014’s studio album, High Country, and 2016’s celebratory anniversary live album, 25. Produced by the band’s long-time producer Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Something Higher was recorded at the famous Wavelab Studio in Tucson, Arizona, in analog and shows Leftover Salmon at their finest—drawing upon and infusing a dizzying breadth of influences ranging from zydeco to R&B to jazz, blues, bluegrass, and more.

Appropriately, once Leftover Salmon’s Something Higher drops in early May, the six-piece band will embark on an extensive tour in promotion of the new record, and today, the group has clued fans in to where they’ll be headed in the coming months. On the day of the album’s release, May 4th, Leftover Salmon will play a special hometown album-release show at eTown in Boulder, Colorado (tickets available exclusively here). The following day, on May 5th, the group will return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre to co-headline the iconic venue with Phil Lesh & The Terrapin Family Band.

From there, the band launches fully into their tour, kicking things off with a performance at the Baltimore Soundstage on May 9th. The group will detour down through Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina before starting the Midwest leg of their tour on May 15th at Cleveland, Ohio’s Music Supper Club. After performances in Michigan, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Illinois, the band will begin to head southwards, with dates in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi as May turns into June. To round out the new tour dates, Leftover Salmon will finish out their summer tour with shows in Sandpoint, Idaho; Whitefish, Montana; and Haugan, Montana from June 7th through 9th.
