Trampled by Turtles in San Luis Obispo

Trampled by Turtles is an American progressive-bluegrass and folk-rock band formed in Duluth, Minnesota, in 2003. Built around guitar, banjo, fiddle, mandolin and upright bass, the group is known for songs including “Wait So Long,” “Alone” and “Codeine,” as well as the albums Palomino and Stars and Satellites. The 2014 concert album Live at First Avenue documented the band at the Minneapolis venue. Trampled by Turtles has taken the same string-band format to a headline show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and to performances at Newport Folk Festival and Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
