About Me

Trampled By Turtles is an original, non-traditional bluegrass band that hails from Duluth, Minnesota. Their highly energetic live performances and meaningful songwriting have gained them a large audience of fans from every walk of life. Influenced as much by the likes of Nirvana and Bob Dylan as by Bill Monroe and The Stanley Brothers (some would say more so), Trampled by Turtles brings to life a slightly different take on the traditional sounds of acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, and bass, usually producing a nice mix of pretty harmonies and broken strings.
