Munch & Music Summer Event '26 / Munch & Music - July 16
Last post by Coral - Jul 14, 2026, 06:24 PMThis week's Munch & Music features a bluegrass band called Leftover Salmon, and an indie band called Kota Dosa. Below is a description of both bands:
Please feel free to share your experiences here!
- Kota Dosa - an eclectic independent rock band based in New Orleans, blends blues, jazz, and psychedelic, brought to the stage like no other. Brothers Jesse Jake & Cody Luke lead their group and capture audiences with powerful vocals, inspired guitar, and unrivaled stage presence. The NYC natives blend New Orleans soul with a wide range of influences, creating a novel sound and an unforgettable performance.
- 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.
The band now features a lineup that has been together longer than any other in Salmon history and is one of the strongest the legendary band has ever assembled. Built around the core of founding members Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, the band is now powered by banjo-wiz Andy Thorn and driven by the steady rhythm section of bassist Greg Garrison, drummer Alwyn Robinson, and dobro player & keyboardist Jay Starling.

Last post by Coral - Jul 08, 2026, 06:29 PMHello everyone! This is my first test post in the Events calendar, just to show what's possible. When you make a calendar event, a post like this is auto-created, where you may describe the event in more detail, and people can confirm attendance here (attendence-confirm on the calendar itself coming soon!). This then becomes the official thread for that event, and you may also post photos/videos or discuss your experience of the event right here! ❤️
Tomorrow's Munch & Music starts with a Bob-Marley inspired band and an indie band called Sun Dive. Below is a description of both bands:
Tomorrow's Munch & Music starts with a Bob-Marley inspired band and an indie band called Sun Dive. Below is a description of both bands:
- Sun Dive - brings together multi-instrumentalists with roots in bands from New Zealand, Oregon, and California. Think layered guitars infused with elements of psych and shoegaze with ambient synths giving a broad sonic palette.
- The Original Wailers - In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing as American born lead guitarist, Al Anderson. It was Anderson's stunning lead work on such classics as No Woman, No Cry, & Three O'clock Road Block, that first alerted rock fans to the Wailer's music.
Andersons' musical achievements with Bob Marley & The Wailers include the platinum award winning albums, 'Live at the Lyceum', 'Babylon by Bus' and ten times platinum album 'Legend'.
The Orignal Wailers received their own Grammy nomination in 2013 for their album 'Miracle' making it Andersons' second Grammy Nomination. Al Anderson is the sole member of the Bob Marley & The Wailers mid - 1970's lineup in the Original Wailers.
The Original Wailers also include Chet Samuel (Lead Vocals / Guitar), Omar Lopez (Bass Guitar), Paapa Nyarkoh (Drums), and Adrian AK Cisneros (Keyboards and Organ) who continue the legacy of Bob Marley & The Wailers' music.
