"Turtle Soup is goood... Turtle Soup is delicious!" - John Popper of Blues Traveler
"Today, I'm going to talk about the original band Turtle Soup... this is an upcoming independent band that every hippie, classic rock lover, and college kid should go see. Why? Turtle Soup blends rock, funk and dance music into a highly energetic and completely infectious stew that will have you coming back for seconds.
At the core, they're 5 totally different characters who join together to form a seamless whole, ready to throw down atany given moment. (You know, kinda like Voltron, but a little less metal.) Where these cats differ from the rest of the groovy bands out there is that instead of using a blender to combine ingredients, they prefer to use a tornado. They want towhip you around, making you dance and gyrate as if gravity didn't exist at their party.
The ride is different every show, and that's part of the allure. Like an interstellar wormhole, you don't know what you're gonna get, or where they're going to take you tonight... but be ready because they're bringing the HEAT. Fun, catchy hooks will have you singing along through your sweat, while the sweet grooves keep you banging your head and shaking your ass.
A memorable show pays off, and they've been on a tear lately. After starting up on the New Jersey shore, they quicklygained critical acclaim in Asbury Park, the town where Bruce Springsteen first got his start. They hopped on the musicfestival circuit, and began branching out into the regional Northeast area. Now more people than ever are rocking out tothese multiple Asbury Music Award winners, and the list just keeps growing.
Their resume includes Blues Traveler, Paul Rodgers, Marshall Tucker Band, Foghat, Little Feat, Max Creek, StrangeFolk...and many others, but that's just name dropping. Turtle Soup impresses both old and young alike with a sound thatis universally accessible, yet interesting enough to get you thinking. But, it might take a couple shows just to get pastthe Holy Shit Factor." ~Bob Sherman, The Indy Sound
