Trampled by Turtles is an American bluegrass/folk rock band hailing from Duluth, Minnesota. Their music is a unique blend of genres, but their core sound is firmly rooted in bluegrass.
The band started in 2003 as a side project for frontman, Dave Simonett. After a gear theft incident involving his previous band, Simonett, limited to his acoustic guitar, turned to bluegrass and folk influences for inspiration.
Trampled by Turtles quickly gained a loyal following for their live shows. Their high-energy performances combined traditional bluegrass instrumentation (banjo, fiddle, mandolin) with a modern, rock-infused sound. This unique blend resonated with audiences who enjoyed the familiar bluegrass elements alongside the driving rhythms and powerful vocals.

Their fifth album, “Palomino” (2010), solidified their place in the music scene. It remained on the Billboard bluegrass chart’s Top 10 for a remarkable 52 weeks. The band’s popularity grew, leading them to perform at major festivals like Coachella, Stagecoach, and Newport Folk Festival.
Trampled by Turtles continues to release critically acclaimed albums, including “Alpenglow,” in October 2022.
They’ve collaborated with notable artists like Wilco‘s Jeff Tweedy, showcasing their willingness to experiment while staying true to their roots.
The band’s name supposedly originated from a dream frontman Dave Simonett had about a giant turtle.
Despite their bluegrass foundation, they sometimes shy away from being strictly labeled as such due to their genre-bending sound.
Trampled by Turtles continues to be a force in contemporary music, captivating audiences with their innovative take on bluegrass and their infectious live shows.
They have released nine full albums, three of which have reached US Billboard bluegrass chart number one spots. Their fifth release, Palomino, maintained a position in the Top 10 on the bluegrass charts for 52 straight weeks.
The group’s various influences range from Bob Dylan and The Beach Boys to The Rolling Stones and even Snoop Dogg. This is a one-of-a-kind band with an unforgettable name!
