Trampled by Turtles

Wednesday, Feb. 26 @ Georgia Theatre

Trampled by Turtles bridge the gap between folk tradition and the members’ alt-rock background, which is evident across the band’s eight full-lengths and bluegrass-inspired covers of Pixies and Radiohead tracks. The group’s foundational unplugged sound has become more symphonic since its start in 2004, while staying true to its roots-rock nature. One can hear fingers flying across several string instruments simultaneously, resulting in magical mountain music. A vibrant frenzy of intersecting genres and interests, the quintet writes a love letter to blues and rock and roll greats with its own Americana penmanship. Bohemian country troublemaker Sierra Ferrell will open with an enchanted set of Southern melodies.
