Snug Lake Amphitheatre British Columbia, Canada Words by J. Picard Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media Recordings by Eytan Bernet Empty bullet casings from a variety of calibers "clinked" and "clanked" with every step along the shore of the aptly named "Guns Lake." It was years before the hippies would roll in, at a time where the sprawling 157 acres was owned and operated by members of the infamous Hell's Angels motorcycle club. What remains of that time are many still uncollected bullet shells, a large house, a massive lodge (inclusive of a jail cell) and local lore kept alive by those who shared the region with the Angels and those who have heard the stories. With almost a decade since the bikers called "Guns Lake" their home, a new direction has unfolded. Land owner, Robert Christy, purchased the land in 2015 with the intention of cleaning up the site and hosting an array of music festivals and events. One of the first changes came w

A Conversation with Andy Thorn (Leftover Salmon) About Blue Ridge Jam

Pisgah Brewing Company Black Mountain, NC Words by Jason Mebane Photos by J. Scott Shrader Photography On Saturday, September 22 Colorado legends Leftover Salmon will invade the Southern Appalachian town of Black Mountain, North Carolina. Along with a handful of their musical peers Leftover will be taking over both the Outdoor and the Taproom stages at Pisgah Brewing Company for their Third Annual Blue Ridge Jam. MusicMarauders was lucky enough to catch up with banjo player Andy Thorn for a few minutes while he was home in Boulder, Colorado to talk about the upcoming event. Since 2010 Andy has been holding down the banjo spot that was first held by the beloved Mark Vann. When I asked Andy if he had any trouble following in the footsteps of amazing players like Mark, Noam Pikelny & Matt Flinner he replied "I think it would've been hard being the first banjo player following Mark Vann. Noam had a tough spot, even though he did an amazing job, to go straight from wha

ALBUM REVIEW: Jen Hartswick's Nexus

Words by Kevin Hahn ( Split Open & Shoot ) Being considered as “special” or “extraordinary” is somewhat lost these days. Whether one is referring to the latest superstar athlete, well-spoken politician, or ultra-popular restaurant chef/owner there still are not many moments where I sit back and reflect on how truly “special” someone is. Even tougher, is standing out from the crowd musically, especially when you have such a crowded industry. Bands are formed to create harmonious sounds together, as one unified “unit”; a brother/sisterhood that can be felt in a variety of ways: taped recording, LP, and of course the live show setting. But there are those “special” people, who are not contained by the norms of what it means to play in a band. I am personally drawn to these incredibly rare personalities; those who provide experiences like none other and seem to transcend the musical boundaries we have all become accustomed to loving. Chick Corea. Trey Anastasio. John Medeski. An
