It’s hard to find a Leftover Salmon live track under 6 minutes. This one, “Breakin’ Thru,” clocks in at about 9 minutes.
How does one describe Leftover Salmon? Here’s how the band from Colorado does it: “the originators of the “Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass” genre. Whatever that might be.

The show begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now and are $20.

While I plan on stopping short of saying which songs you should play for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day, we have compiled some Northwest Arkansas-specific events for the occasion.
And, yes, some of them involve music.
Like the Valentine’s Day at GoodFolk Productions concert featuring Still on the Hill, who are release a new album called “Red Curtain” that evening. Admission to the show, which also features Walter Savage, is $15. Reservations should be made by calling 521-1812. [Update: We understand the show is now sold out.]
Several restaurants, such as Legacy Blues and Greenhouse Grille, are offering special menus and live music as an accompaniment. Check out either restaurant’s website for details.
For other ideas, I’d suggest revisiting our Valentine’s idea guide, which published Friday in What’s Up! You can find the story online (but you have to be a subscriber to see the full story).
Hope you have a happy Valentine’s Day.
