We are kicking off this season properly by interviewing Mr Festival himself, Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon and the High Hawks. He shows us the true resilience required to be a touring musician that remains as occupied as he is. Nate and Justin get the dish on how for 35 years he has helped maintain progressive bluegrass with his influential bands. With Vince we are all in good hands. A few festival news highlights and announcements are also discussed as we look forward to celebrating the 10th year of the Blue Ox Music Festival this June 27-29 in Eau Claire, WI. Thanks for listening!
