Drew Emmitt Band

April 18, 2006

I love Drew Emmitt! I think he was one of the key ingredients to Leftover Salmon. My favorite songs that they played were the ones that he sang. In addition to being a great singer, he’s a killer mandolin picker. I wrote about Vince Herman’s post Leftover Salmon carreer here and I’m happy to see [...]
