At t he time\, Simonett had lost most of his music gear\, thanks to a group of enterprising car thieves who'd ransacked his vehicle while he played a sho w with his previous band. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar\, he began piecing together a new band\, this time taking inspiration from bluegrass\, folk\, and other genres that didn't rely on amplification. Sim onett hadn't played any bluegrass music before\, and he filled his lineup with other newcomers to the genre\, including fiddler Ryan Young (who'd pr eviously played drums in a speed metal act) and bassist Tim Saxhaug. Along with mandolinist Erik Berry and banjo player Dave Carroll\, the group beg an carving out a fast\, frenetic sound that owed as much to rock &\; ro ll as bluegrass.\n\nTrampled by Turtles released their first record\, Son gs from a Ghost Town\, in 2004. In a genre steeped in tradition\, the albu m stood out for its contemporary sound\, essentially bridging the gap betw een the bandmates' background in rock music and their new acoustic leaning s. Blue Sky and the Devil (2005) and Trouble (2007) explored a similar sound\, but it wasn't until 2008 and the band's fourth release\, Duluth\ , that Trampled by Turtles received recognition by the bluegrass community . Duluth peaked at number eight on the Billboard bluegrass chart and paved the way for a number of festival appearances. When Palomino arrived in 2010\, it was met with an even greater response\, debuting at the top of t he bluegrass chart and remaining in the Top Ten for more than a year. Two years later\, their crossover appeal landed them at number 32 on the Billb oard 200 pop charts upon the release of their sixth album\, Stars and Sat ellites. In addition to major bluegrass and folk festivals\, they began sh owing up at Coachella\, ACL Fest\, and Lollapalooza. The official concert album\, Live at First Avenue\, followed in 2013\, recorded at Minnesota's most famous venue. A year later\, the band returned with the darker-toned  Wild Animals\, which bettered its studio predecessor on the album charts \, reaching number 29 on Billboard. Countless tours with bands like Lord H uron\, Wilco\, Caamp\, Mt Joy and Deer Tick to name a few have followed. 2 022 will see the release of the band's latest body of work called Alpengl ow which was produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco.
