The songs and music of Leftover Salmon can be well compared with Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, and the former Phish.

It paired up the band with the icons of A-list of Nashville such as Waylon Jennings, Lucinda Williams, Earl Scruggs; along with the A-list of Nashville's most famous session players: Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, John Cowan, Taj Mahal, and Sally Van Meter. They are also drawn parallel to Blues Traveler's John Popper, and John Bell from Widespread Panic.
For the past eleven years, Leftover Salmon has been touring continuously, performing and playing at a number of clubs, theaters, festivals. In addition, one of the member of the band Mark Vann has won the Telluride Bluegrass Fesival's banjo competition a number of times.
