Bluegrass band Trampled By Turtles have announced their release of their upcoming album Alpenglow and it will be everywhere on October 28th. The record is the band’s tenth album and each track could very well be the strongest collection of music.
Most of the tracks on Alpenglow are written by lead singer Dave Simonett, whose songwriting focuses on the connection the band has with their fans. The tune On The Highway expresses the struggles life can bring while we stay on the right path. Beautiful Central Hillside Blues addresses how to deal with loss whereas Quitting Is Rough discusses about having the strength to carry on when life becomes hard.
On another note Trampled By Turtles have announced a fall tour to support the release of Alpenglow. The band has sold out venues from all over with fans who are not afraid of singing and dancing to the music. With Simonett (guitar), Erik Berry (mandolin), Ryan Young (fiddle), Dave Carroll (banjo), Tim Saxhaug (bass) and Eamonn McLain (cello), they become a rock band that only uses string instrumentation. With Alpenglow, people will understand why Trampled By Turtles continues to dazzle the minds of the audience with their music.
