About Trampled by Turtles

Trampled by Turtles started in Duluth when singer and guitarist Dave Simonett turned to acoustic music after his electric gear was stolen. The band uses a string-band setup with banjo, mandolin, fiddle, upright bass and acoustic guitar, later joined by cello. They play it at punk-rock speed, with breakneck picking and pounding rhythms.

The fast material is only half the picture. Their records also make room for slow, aching ballads such as 'Wait So Long', which became one of their best-known songs. Albums including Stars and Satellites and Life Is Good on the Open Road leaned further into that quieter side. Simonett also writes and records outside the band under the name Dead Man Winter.
