Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once-in-lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon. Since their earliest days as a forward thinking, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene, to their current status as elder-statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly, unique style. 

Mamafesta is an original groove-rock outfit that was born in the fall of 2011. Over the years Mamafesta has begun to channel their own unique sound and reach out to their audiences through their musicianship and vocal messages. The band consists of four diverse musicians with well-rooted friendships in music and in life including Zack Morgan on keyboards, saxophone and vocals and Lowell Carrico on guitar and lead vocals. The rhythm section is made up of Vince Seidl on drums and vocals and Logan Dance on bass and vocals. Together these four talented musicians create a high-energy wave of sound that entices and evokes the spirit of the soul. Mamafesta respects meaningful lyrical messages and well arranged tunes that have the freedom to go to a destination that the audience, atmosphere, and band all equally manifest together. Mamafesta prides themselves on their original material while still paying homage to the past greats and present day innovators. Hold on tight or just let go…
