Hornings Hideout North Plains, OR Interview & Words By Mitch Melheim Photos By Coleman Schwartz There are very few bands who can emulate the type of fun that Leftover Salmon consistently provides on-stage. From Mayor McCheese to guitarist Vince Herman’s scat-filled antics, it would be an understatement to say there’s never a dull moment with these guys. Their infectious on-stage personas are the reason why I jumped on the chance to interview them at this year’s Northwest String Summit. Herman, who introduced himself as Bernie Sanders, arrived to the interview alongside band co-founder and multi-instrumentalist, Drew Emmitt, and banjo virtuoso, Andy Thorn. Mitch Melheim: Welcome back to Oregon. You’ve rang in two of the last three New Year’s in Portland. What keeps bringing you back? Vince Herman: It’s a great corner of the "Left Coast" to play. We usually like to switch up where we play our New Year’s shows. Just recently we’ve done Chicago, Portland, Sea...

Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Commerce City, CO Words & Photos By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Six Dick’s, Dick’s six, that’s a total of eighteen Dick’s, that’s a lot of Dick’s, and I’ve had them all. Dick’s is the not-so-secret Phish festival that has happened every year in the heart of Commerce City, Colorado since 2011. This year locals felt the squeeze as tickets for all three nights sold out over a month in advance, which was a new phenomenon. Each run has featured some trickery or set list shenanigans, but with the conclusive "Thank You, HARPUA" encore last year on Sunday many speculated that it was an end of an era. That would not be the case. This year my personal Phish fandom came full circle on night three, second set, aka the "Crosseyed and Painless" Extravaganza. It was my "Moby Dick" you could say. In 2000 at Deer Creek, I was just a young noob out on the prowl for good times and a good show. My lack of experience caus...

Words By Nicholas Stock ( Fat Guerilla Productions ) Photos By Nicholas Stock & Conrad Meyer Audio By Chuck Miller & Marcus B Thursday, August 25: Red Rocks Amphitheatre Morrison, Colorado Moe. has a dedicated Colorado contingent. Each time Five Guys Named Moe makes the journey out West, we appear eager and ready to rage with the boys from Buffalo. We are a famoe.ly out here and we even get together for the occasional barbecue. Moe. is the steam engine that never slowed down. Musically they are still playing at a peak that eludes most touring groups. The individual members of this band are completely in synch on any given night and their two-day romp through the foothills was no exception. This year they teamed up with Summer Sessions stage-mates Gov’t Mule and relative newcomers Blackberry Smoke to play the famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The following evening moe. sold out the Boulder Theater for a much more intimate affair with the diehards. A little sidenote f...

Arrington, VA Words By Eric Lewis Photos By Bain Stewart Media Somewhere nestled between the mountains and the trees there is a farm. On this farm is a family. A family brought together from across the nation for four days out of the year. This year, I was lucky enough to join in and become a part of the Lockn' fam. Welcome to Lockn' 2016. After haphazardly setting up my tent and necessary shade on no sleep, I followed that festival smell of body odor and patchouli to the gates. Past the constant tide of people and beyond the mental fog of “what have I gotten myself into,” I found myself holding a Star Hill Brewery local brew at the Main Stage with no preexisting knowledge or expectations for the first band. Lockn' could not have chosen a better band to kick off the party. At 7:30 PM the bustling crowd settled as focus turned to the stage lights, as Michigan-natives Vulfpeck took to the stage. Accompanied by what I would deem probably the funkiest bass player in...

Telluride, CO Words By Ty Hyten If you travel out of the city, up 285, cut through dusty one stop light towns, like Salida and Ridgway, you’ll arrive in one of the most beautiful little towns in America. Telluride, Colorado, is a living daguerreotype photograph of the Old West, unmolested by the ski corporations, void of a single Walgreens or Wendy’s. In the 120 years since Butch Cassidy pulled off his first bank robbery on the main street in town, it appears as though little has changed architecturally. Nestled at the bottom of a box canyon, surrounded by twelve thousand foot mountain walls, over nine thousand music fans set up camp every September. For the last twenty-three years, the 2,300 person town has been home to the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival – an isolated three-day weekend (September 16 - 18) of blues music, craft beer, late night shows at historic venues, and breathtaking fall scenery. The festival is laid out at the end of town, across the babbling San Mi...

Rancho Del Rio Bond, CO Words By J. Picard Photos By Elliot Siff Photography , J. Picard & Carly Picard There were pirates, floating unicorns, fat guys riding slices of pizza, multiple sets played on floating stages and some of our favorite musicians to boot. The 11th annual YarmonyGrass took place as it has for six years now at Rancho Del Rio in the Colorado Rockies on the Colorado River. The fest has become sort of an anomaly as more festivals come and go on a scene dominated by an increasing volume of large scale giants. The core of Yarmony is fueled by familiar faces, passionate music fans and vibrating strings. Our arrival on site meant that our phones would refuse us service and we were committing to a weekend of unplugged face to face conversation, laughs without the term "lol" and unforgettable life experiences. Thursday, August 18: We made the two and a half hour trek from Denver up the I-70 corridor to Rancho Del Rio in Bond, CO. Our arrival on si...
