For fans of Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, String Cheese Incident, Del McCoury Band and more.

Hard-twanging, string-bending Minnesota roots band Trampled by Turtles, are headed out on a 40+ date fall tour. The coast to coast run will have them on the road literally up to Christmas so you have no excuse not to catch ‘em along the way. They'll be supporting their recently-released Duluth album.

If you need convincing, check out some songs at their sites:

Separating the band from the pack is the contrast of their lightening fast punk-influenced barn-burners and their lonesome Townes Van Zandt-inspired ballads. As Artvoice Buffalo put it, ""Their most recent release, Duluth, mirrors the raw intensity of their live performances, which are sure to leave audiences simultaneously raising hell and crying in their beers."

They'll buy you a beer, too.
