Trampled By Turtles
We open for Trampled by Turtles on Friday night at Smith’s Olde Bar in Atlanta. Really looking forward to hearing these guys. I’ve heard a lot about them, and actually got wind that I should give’m a listen from a guy in Zac Brown’s band in casual conversation on the tarps in Telluride this Summer when we were at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. They’ve got this great frenetic energy and Appalachian-rooted sound that reminds me of Old Crow Medicine Show meets the Del McCoury Band. Young guys makin’ it happen on the bluegrass scene…most of the time sitting down as best I can tell. Fabulous sound, and a different approach. Sign me up! I love discovering great new bands and these guy fit the bill for sure.
Y’all come join us won’t you?
for the record, We were blown away by the energy and drive of Trampled By Turtles. Rarely does a band live up to hype like they did, but they were phenomenal.
