TRAMPLED BY TURTLES

TRAMPLED BY TURTLES

The other night I was at the Murcury lounge in Manhattan, I was setting up when 5 guys walked in. The one that cought my eye was a tall bearded man wearing overalls and carrying a banjo, I thought to myself I have to check these guys out.

Later that night I walked back into the main room where the bearded man in overalls had taken the stage with his four friends and man the crowd was loving it.
They had a banjo (Dave Carroll), a Mandolin (Erik Berry), a fiddle (Ryan young), a bass (Tim Saxhaug), a accoustic (David Simonett) and they all sung except the fiddle player.

I was instantly sucked into their bluegrass, they had so much energy it made me want to drink wiskey and party all night out on someones property out in the country.

Trampled by turtles are from Duluth, Minnesota. They released their debut album in 2004 "Songs from a ghost town"

I have only had the pleasure of hearing their two latest albums "Duluth"

2008

Palomino

2010

I have not been able to stop myself from listening to these albums, so good to hear some honest music.
