GET TO KNOW TRAMPLED BY TURTLES.
Trampled by Turtles formed in Duluth, Minnesota, bringing a wide range of rock, folk, and country influences into an acoustic string-band setting. The instruments may suggest bluegrass, but the writing and collective energy draw from a much broader listening history. Palomino expanded the band’s audience, while Stars and Satellites offered another route into songs that can be introspective on record and intensely physical when played by the full ensemble.
Rapid acoustic motion and a rough, communal quality coexist with more spacious folk songwriting. Rather than hearing every song as a speed exercise, notice how the same instrumental line-up can create either momentum or a carefully held, reflective atmosphere.
ALBUMS & RELEASES.
Palomino
A key record in the growth of their national audience.
Stars and Satellites
A more spacious complement to the band’s high-energy reputation.
Alpenglow
A studio collaboration with producer Jeff Tweedy.
PAST TOURS & LIVE ROOTS.
The band’s festival history includes Coachella, Stagecoach, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Newport Folk Festival. A national television appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman in April 2012 marked another step beyond the regional audience developed around the early records.
COLLABORATIONS & CONNECTIONS.
Jeff Tweedy produced Alpenglow, bringing an outside studio perspective to the group’s acoustic playing and Dave Simonett’s songwriting. The album also includes Tweedy’s ‘A Lifetime to Find,’ making the collaboration both a production relationship and a contribution to the recorded repertoire.
