Leftover Salmon Releases 2nd Single Through
Breckenridge Brewery: “Thornpipe” Featuring
Casey Dreissen.Now I just need to find a 12-pack Sampler Pack.
ASHEVILLE, NC-- Bringing new meaning to the practice of catch and release, Breckenridge Brewery of Colorado and bluegrass band Leftover Salmon have caught up with each other to launch the second release
in a series of four original songs. The new music is being pre-released
exclusively within Breckenridge Brewery’s 12-pack Sampler Packs through
October. Each of four song download codes is provided on Artist Series
coasters, specially created by four well-known artists from the “Rock
Art” community and packaged inside the Sampler Packs.
The
second song available is “Thornpipe,” which Andy Thorn wrote years ago,
but he believed it was missing something. While attending the Old
Settler’s Music Festival in Austin in April, the group hooked up with
Casey Driessen who added the missing component – sounds from his fiddle.
Sound engineer Mario Casillio was able to set up a makeshift studio in
the back of the band’s bus, and as Thorn remembers, “Casey was kind
enough to spend a bit of his afternoon laying down some hot fiddlin’.”
“In
music you've got your hornpipes and your jigs, but this tune is a
‘Thornpipe,’” continued Thorn. “It’s a pretty simple banjo tune with a
few twists and turns to have fun with.”
Renowned poster artist Jeff Wood of Zen Mystic Studio created the artwork for “Thornpipe.”
“My
art is heavily steeped in psychedelia, so when approached about the LoS
Breckenridge coaster project, swirling images started dancing through
my head,” said Wood. “‘Thornpipe’ is a great bluegrass tune and I
envisioned a group of salmon forming a mandala spinning inside a ring of
thorns. Mandalas have been used through the ages as a meditation and
contemplation tool for the artist and the viewer. My hopes were that
when one looks at the coaster image they will become lost in the image
and, with beer in hand, it will take them to a more peaceful Colorado
state of mind.”
The
second Artist Series song download coasters will begin shipping in
specially marked Breckenridge Brewery 12-pack Sampler Packs in
mid-August. Every download that is retrieved enters that person in a
drawing. The grand prize is a trip for two to Colorado for a VIP
experience at Leftover Salmon’s Thanksgiving shows, with a
behind-the-scenes Breckenridge Brewery tour and a band meet-and-greet.
Other prizes include a band-autographed acoustic guitar made by Andrew White Guitars,
which builds Vince Herman his guitars; a set of four Artist Series
coaster posters, framed and signed by the band; and weekly online poster
giveaways.
Gary Houston, Jeff Wood, Nate Duval and Tyler Stout
each crafted their artwork with inspiration from Leftover Salmon’s new
music and Breckenridge Brewery’s beers. In addition to the coasters,
each artist is printing a limited run of 100 screen print posters that
are numbered and signed. The posters are available through weekly
giveaways on both Breckenridge Brewery’s and Leftover Salmon’s
Facebook and Instagram pages. They also will be given away at special
events in select bars in cities where the band is touring.
