This is the first in a series of short clips to give viewers a small taste of the Minnesota supergroup Trampled by Turtles. These clips are from the Oyster Ridge Music Festival 2006 in Kemmerer Wyoming. Wyoming's largest Free music festival.

Trampled by Turtles is an original, non-traditional bluegrass band from Duluth, Minnesota. Their energetic live performances and two well-received albums (Songs From a Ghost Town, 2004 and Blue Sky and the Devil, 2005) have gained them a large and loyal fan base throughout the Midwest and beyond. They are three time winners of the Minnesota Music awards.This band is smokin, get your OysterGrass stomping shoes out of the closet because you're going to need them Saturday night when TBT takes the stage.

Coming from varied musical backgrounds, the members of Trampled by Turtles blend hints of grunge, punk, alt-country, and pop with the traditional sounds of the acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, and bass. The last two years have been spent playing venues ranging from punk-rock basement parties to the Great American Music Hall, sharing the stage with a diverse group of musicians including Low, The Radiators, Pedro the Lion, Nickel Creek, and Charlie Parr.
The group consists of guitar player and lead vocalist Dave Simonett, mandolin player Erik Berry, banjo player Dave Carroll, and bass player Tim Saxhaug.
