Celebrated Minnesota sextet Trampled By Turtles will perform at The Anthem on November 4th in support of their upcoming album, Alpenglow (out October 28th, 2022). Alpenglow is the band's first new album in four years – produced by Jeff Tweedy of Wilco – consists of eleven new songs that feature the group's signature blend of rock, folk, punk, country, and progressive bluegrass. 

"It's a beautiful phenomenon," says Trampled by Turtles' Dave Simonett, before adding with characteristic sincerity: "Everybody should see it."  Simonett is talking about alpenglow, the natural event that washes mountains on the horizon in smoldering red and pink light just before the sun sets or rises. It's a harbinger of change – the space between new and old. It's also the name of Trampled by Turtles' new album, the band's tenth. "My favorite part about making music is making records," says Simonett. "I'm really excited about this one."

Alpenglow offers resounding proof that the beloved six-piece from Minnesota remain the uncontested champs of understated virtuosity, literary songwriting, and a joyful hodgepodge of folk heart, rock-and-roll muscle, and string-band zen. Almost 20 years after first getting together, Trampled – that's lead singer and songwriter Dave Simonett, bassist Tim Saxhaug, banjo player Dave Carroll, mandolinist Erik Berry, fiddle player Ryan Young, and cellist Eamonn McLain – also keep finding new ways to surprise us and one another.

Trampled by Turtles has been slowly releasing songs from Alpenglow on Spotify and Tidal, and we, like you, couldn't be more excited to hear the album in its entirety. Their upcoming Anthem appearance will be the second stop on their nineteen-stop coast-to-coast tour, and DMV residents will be among the first to hear these new songs performed live.
