Andy Thorn has been the banjo player for the Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass Jam Band, Leftover Salmon, for over 10 years. However, he has been preparing nearly his entire life, as he has both loved and dedicated himself to music since he was very young. His positive attitude, eclectic musical background, and vast banjo knowledge has allowed Andy to play in bands with current members of Greensky Bluegrass, Mandolin Orange, The Infamous Stringdusters, Che Apalache and the Jon Stickley Trio, to name a few. Recently Andy put out an EP with his former LOS pianist/keyboardist Erik Deutsch. Deutsch & Thorn's "Tangled Sea," successfully marries the banjo and the piano, and highlights Andy Thorns ability to play banjo in ever changing settings and styles. The album is available at andythornmusic.com, along with other merch, and updates on his music and live performances, so please check it out. Also, please join me as we take a deep dive into Andy's early years, and his serendipitous path to ending up in a band, which he was also a huge fan of growing up. Please stop by livefrombanjo.com, and become a "LFB Band Member" and/or follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Thanks!
