Trampled by Turtles are from Duluth, Minnesota, where frontman Dave Simonett initially formed the group as a side project in 2003. At the time, Simonett had lost most of his music gear, thanks to a group of enterprising car thieves who'd ransacked his vehicle while he played a show with his previous band. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar, he began piecing together a new band, this time taking inspiration from bluegrass, folk, and other genres that didn't rely on amplification. Simonett hadn't played any bluegrass music 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 & roll as bluegrass.
Trampled by Turtles released their first record, Songs from a Ghost Town, in 2004. In a genre steeped in tradition, the album stood out for its contemporary sound, essentially bridging the gap between the bandmates' background in rock music and their new acoustic leanings. Blue Sky and the Devil (2005) and Trouble (2007) explored a similar sound, but it wasn't until 2008 and the band's fourth release, Duluth, that Trampled by Turtles received recognition by the bluegrass community. Duluth peaked at number eight on the Billboard bluegrass chart and paved the way for a number of festival appearances. When Palomino arrived in 2010, it was met with an even greater response, debuting at the top of the bluegrass chart and remaining in the Top Ten for more than a year. Two years later, their crossover appeal landed them at number 32 on the Billboard 200 pop charts upon the release of their sixth album, Stars and Satellites. In addition to major bluegrass and folk festivals, they began showing up at Coachella, ACL Fest, and Lollapalooza. The official concert album, Live at First Avenue, followed in 2013, recorded at Minnesota's most famous venue. A year later, the band returned with the darker-toned Wild Animals, which bettered its studio predecessor on the album charts, reaching number 29 on Billboard. Countless tours, playing venues like the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, with bands like Lord Huron, Wilco, Caamp, Mt Joy and Deer Tick to name a few have followed. 2022 will see the release of the band's latest body of work called Alpenglow which was produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.

I have seen the Turtles several times and they never disappoint. The energy and the showmanship of the band is just an amazing experience. Drayton Farley was incredible. I had just recently heard of him and Wow, that guy will be going places
Trampled by Turtles gave a great performance. Their musicianship and harmonies are undeniable one of the best around.
Thoroughly enjoyed it all. Looking forward to another TBT event. Farley band also good
Great performance by the band. The performers put together a fantastic and full sound. The songs go from melody to fas energy tunes. It was great. The Uptown Theater opened my eyes. I have recent lost mobility and was not looking towards get to my balcony seats. The workers noticed my difficult mobility and offered ADA seating. It totally took away the concern seating away. This made the entire show made this a great experience.
Considering Caamp was unable to perform…. The powers that be did an amazing job regrouping and getting Deer Tick & Shakey Graves to open for TBT was totally the right move! Both opening bands were super fun!! The venue at Treasure Island seems more streamlined and nicer than the last time I was there in 2019 to see TBT & Avetts! Our seats were great and easy to get to! Our parking was easy as well! Thank you!! We had a blast seeing our favorite band Trampled By Turtles! ❤️
Was an amazing show, incredible talent and humbleness 🤍
great show by TBT!! awesome that Deer Tick and Shakey Graves filled in for CAAMP :)
Shakey Graves was a great show, the Turtles were also really good. Loved the venue and Red Wing is a cool town. Was super disappointed that Caamp was unable to play.
I love TI amphitheater! I've always had a fun experience! This line up was really great in this place. The Red Rocks in Minnesota! Cherry on top with the beautiful late summer evening! Turtles are the best :).
