About Trampled by Turtles

Initially, Trampled by Turtles frontman, Dave Simonett, formed the group as a side project in 2023. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar after car thieves ransacked his vehicle, he began piecing together a new band. He took 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. That included 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.

They 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. After the band’s fourth release in 2008, Duluth, Trampled by Turtles received recognition by the bluegrass community.

About Crowe Boys

Crowe Boys have been making music ever since they could each hold an instrument. Throughout their youth, music was an integral part of their family’s traveling lifestyle. While aspects of their career have changed over the years, the underlying message of their music has not; staying positive and sharing hope has always been their trademark. Now, a couple of decades later, that is still the case.
