Thurs, May 19, Trampled by Turtles

Proving that point of origin is no longer an issue when it comes to quality bluegrass, Trampled by Turtles is gaining quite the loyal fan base through recording and well-timed touring. One listen to “Feet and Bones” from its recent Palomino long-player should be more than enough reason to investigate further. This quintet sounds at ease playing at both breakneck speed and, of course, hanging-on-the-porch tempos. If you’ve been paying attention, the resurgence of bluegrass over the last five years is anything but derivative. Hordes of new talent are adding new dimensions to a genre that was in grave danger of being endangered. Bring your dancin’ shoes. 2708 J Street, www.trampledbyturtles.com.
