Leftover Salmon's Vince Herman and Great American Taxi, along with It's Evolving, a group of Americana musicians from Boulder and beyond, the talents of Young And In The Gutter, a secret group of well-known Boulder musicians celebrating a reunion of sorts, and Yonger Mountain String Band's Jeff Austin and friends, will perform an evening of eclectically-inspired bluegrass at The Boulder Theater on Wednesday, January 16 at 7 pm. Proceeds benefit the Watershed School Scholarship Fund.
Great American Taxi promises to entertain the audience with its folk and country sensibilities while offering large doses of improvisation and rock and roll. With front-man Vince Herman at the wheel, people will recognize threads of the Leftover Salmon fabric, all the while being driven by original songwriting and musicianship from guitarist/vocalist Jefferson Hamer and keyboardist/vocalist Chad Staehly. The rhythm section are supplied by well-seasoned veterans Jake Coffin on drums/vocals and Edwin Hurwitz on bass guitar. Jake spent years on the road with Dan Bern, and Edwin clocked many miles with 90�s jambands Shockra and Skin. Great American Taxi traffics their collective past helping create their new Americana-without-borders brand of music.
Joining Great American Taxi will be Jeff Austin and other members of local favorite Yonder Mountain String Band, as well as surprise performances by other well-known Boulder musicians.
Proceeds will benefit The Watershed School, an innovative school in Boulder that provides a meaningful middle and high school education that challenges students to know and care about themselves, their community, and their world.
