Trampled By Turtles hail from Duluth, Minnesota, where frontman Dave Simonett first formed the band as a creative outlet in 2003. After losing most of his gear to thieves, Simonett, armed only with an acoustic guitar, united a group of fresh talents to craft a unique sound influenced by bluegrass, folk, and rock & roll. Their energetic performances have taken them to the top of Billboard's Bluegrass Charts, with notable appearances at major festivals like Coachella, ACL Fest, and Lollapalooza. They've toured alongside industry giants such as Shakey Graves, Zach Bryan, Willie Nelson, and many more, building a dedicated following along the way.

Their latest album, Alpenglow, produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, showcases their evolving sound, while their recent cover of Bon Iver’s “For Emma” features Caamp's Taylor Meier. Exciting collaborations are on the horizon!

Wild Horses, a husband-and-wife duo from northern Minnesota, add to the lineup with their compelling blend of heartfelt vocals, harmonious melodies, and rich Americana influences. Recently gaining traction in the upper Midwest, they have shared the stage with Trampled By Turtles and Muscadine Bloodline. Their rootsy sound resonates from their life off-grid, drawing inspiration from the beautiful landscapes along the American Highway.

Don't miss this fantastic night of music and connection! 🎉
