For the past quarter-century, Colorado’s Leftover Salmon has established itself as one of the great purveyors of Americana music, digging deep into the well that supplies its influences; rock ‘n’ roll, folk, bluegrass, Cajun, soul, zydeco, jazz and blues. During their twenty-five plus years as a band they have headlined shows and festivals from coast to coast, released nine albums, and maintained a vibrant, relevant and influential voice in the music world.

Kerry Kriger has been playing the bansuri (bamboo flute) since 1996 and studied the classical music of northern India with the legendary flute master Pandit Vijay Raghav Rao for nearly 10 years. He has performed in the USA, Argentina, Mexico, Ghana, Australia and New Zealand and has recorded several albums. Kerry regularly gives flute lessons, and has created a website devoted to the bansuri (www.indianflutemusic.com). Kerry is also quite adept at the darabuka, a hand drum from the Middle East, and currently studies tabla with Indian drum master Samrat Kakkeri. Kerry also plays guitar, piano, jew’s harp, and ukulele. Kerry holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences and is the Founder & Executive Director of SAVE THE FROGS!
