An exhilarating and virtuosic string band experience

Dance, clap, stomp, and sing along with the melodic, string-driven explosion that is a Trampled by Turtles live show. From fiercely folky jams to heart-tugging bluegrass ballads, Trampled by Turtles delivers a dynamic and exhilarating blend of high-energy, virtuosic string playing, with blazing banjos, howling fiddles, and soulful harmonies. This is a high-octane folk-rock fusion, popularly described as “the speed metal of bluegrass” thanks to a fast‑paced, relentless energy that often inspires spontaneous jigs and foot-stomping splendor. 

About Trampled by Turtles 

Frontman Dave Simonett initially formed Trampled by Turtles in Duluth, Minnesota, after losing most of his musical equipment to a car burglary. Hence, Trampled by Turtles takes inspiration from bluegrass, folk, and other genres that don’t rely on amplification, even though Simonett hadn't played bluegrass before, and he filled his lineup with other newcomers to the genre, including fiddler Ryan Young (who'd previously played drums in a speed metal act) and bassist Tim Saxhaug. Along with mandolinist Erik Berry and banjo player Dave Carroll, the group began carving out a fast, frenetic sound that owed as much to rock ’n’ roll as bluegrass. The band released its first album, Songs from a Ghost Town, in 2004, but it wasn't until the band's fourth release, Duluth (2008), that Trampled by Turtles received recognition by the bluegrass community. In addition to major bluegrass and folk festivals, the band has also played Coachella, ACL Fest, and Lollapalooza and toured with Lord Huron, Wilco, Caamp, Mt. Joy, and Deer Tick.
