Trampled by Turtles started a side project. A bunch of plugged-in rock guys wanted to go acoustic, and found that they belonged unplugged, playing foot-stomping fiddle tunes. While the band has been around since 2003, they found acceptance in the Bluegrass community with the 2008 release of Duluth, and gained further ground in 2010 with Palomino. In the last year, TBT has entered the mainstream with appearances everywhere from The Late Show to Lollapalooza.
