Trampled By Turtles, The Devil Makes Three, Molly Maher, and A Night In The Box at First Avenue
The irony of Trampled By Turtles' name—considering the blazing speed at which the band plays—has been noted before, but it's still worth noting that music by five guys sitting on chairs playing bluegrass on acoustic instruments is rarely so powerfully fast. Like Colorado’s Yonder Mountain String Band, the Minnesota group approaches traditional roots music with a vigorous, rock-influenced energy. These First Avenue shows celebrate the release of Palomino, a new album that pairs blazing dexterity with plaintive ballads—the more relaxed tone of the latter impresses as much as, if not more than, the sheer speed of the former.
