Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 19-21, 2019 C-7 The Park Record Continued from C-4 Leftover Salmon will play according to Emmitt, “quite crazy.” “We were hanging in there, but I think we were a little burnt touring three weeks of every month,” he said. “We needed to stop and regroup, and we didn’t know if we were going to bet back together.” After three years, Emmitt and Herman contacted the rest of the band to see if they could make it work again. “When we started back up, we did it slowly,” Emmitt said. “We started with festivals and did oneoffs here and there.” When Emmitt and Herman also had commitments to their other projects. Emmit had his own band and also played in the Emmit-Nershi Band with String Cheese Incident guitarist Bill Nershi, while Herman formed the Great American Continued from C-4 Furtado plays with Salmon Continued from C-2 Fundraiser fetches funds “So we set up what we call a ‘fospice,’ which is a fostering hospice for those dogs who are sick or very old, or the owners can’t take care of them for one reason or another,” she said. “We take care of them through the end of their lives.” Fetch Cares’ annual budget between $5,000 and $7,000 barely Taxi and worked with a revolving door of musicians. Leftover Salmon didn’t actually start getting back on the road until 2012, according to Emmitt. “Luckily, and thankfully, we were able to get it back together and figure out a way to do it without touring all the time,” he said. “We would do festivals and long weekends during the summer, and I think that was a great thing for the band. It’s been more fun, and definitely more healthy and sustainable.” Emmitt said he feels the current lineup is the best version of the band, which was borne out of the bluegrass festival scene. “We’d go to these festivals, and then take our own instruments and jam around campfires,” he said. “That’s the most accurate thing I can point to as to where we pulled our inspirations from. I think we were inspired to create a band to play music that we liked and have fun doing it.” In the early days, the band members wanted to play festivals as well as tour, Emmitt said. “That was a tall order at that time, because a lot of the bands that were touring weren’t necessarily festival bands, because bluegrass wasn’t that marketable at that time,” he said. “Also, if you were playing festivals in the summer, you had to have a day job in the winter. And we didn’t want jobs. We just wanted to play music all the time.” So Leftover Salmon figured out how to do both. “We started playing the ski areas in Colorado during the winter,” Emmitt said. “We didn’t have any grandiose ideas. We just thought if we could play festivals in the summer and then play ski resorts, then we’d be rocking.” Much of the band’s history is documented in a new biography, “Leftover Salmon: 30 Years of Festival!” Written by Tim Newby. “Tim had approached our manager about writing the book, and we were all a little surprised that somebody thought enough of us to do that,” Emmitt said. “After talking with him, we started to feel really good about it.” Newby conducted long interviews with band members, past and present, as well as close friends and musicians in other bands. “He compiled a good, basic biography of the band, and I think it’s very good,” Emmitt said. I needed to record another show,” he said. He called his friend Matt Flinner, a Grammy-nominated mandolinist who grew up in Salt Lake City, fiddle player Price and jazz accordion player Rob Burger. “Rob used to play with Tin Hat Trio, and he has produced Iron & Wine,” Furtado said. “So there were some heavy hitters playing that night.” In addition, Furtado’s wife, Stephanie Schneiderman, stepped in to sing harmonies. “I wanted to get a good vibe, so I brought in a rug and some lights from our living room,” he said. “Most importantly, I hired a live sound tech as well as a recording engineer, and that session is where most of the album came from.” covers the cost of its operations, Saylor said. “Fetch supports Fetch Cares, and we’ve been nickel and diming our programs to make things work,” she said. Tori founded Fetch in Virginia in 2015 and moved the operations to Park City in 2017. The owners’ vision is to expand its programming to reach more dogs and their owners, said Fetch staff member Tracy Klein. Klein, who has fostered 19 puppies that were rescued from one of Utah’s Native American reservations this past year, said these experiences can help youths learn life and job skills like compassion and organization. A few weeks ago, a special-education class from Park City vis- ited Fetch. “When the class got to the ranch, the teacher told me that several of the students may not allow any of the dogs to touch them,” Saylor said. “But by the end of the day, the kids were all holding the dogs and smiling.” Zetterberg, who was visiting the ranch at that time, saw the positive effect the dogs had on the students. “When I saw the dogs interacting with the class, I knew I wanted to support Fetch,” he said. Saylor is grateful for Zetterberg and the other businesses who are coming together for the event. “They have been a blessing,” she said. “Park City is such a giving community. I am overwhelmed in the amount of giving that is going on for this event.” BBQ LOT 42 COME SEE THE LAST LOT AVAILABLE IN SILVER SPRINGS! • Saturday, June 22 • 11am-2pm 5244 Heather Lane #42, Park City • Serving hamburgers, hot dogs and cold soft drinks. .26 ACRES • O F F E R E D AT $ 5 4 9 , 0 0 0 Hosted by: Ryan McLaughlin REALTOR Ski Resort Property Group 435.640.5780 ryan@skiresortproperty.com ® © 2019 BHH Affiliates, LLC.
