Duluth's Trampled By Turtles swept the bluegrass category, winning Best Bluegrass Artist/Group and Best Bluegrass Recording. Here's a little taste of their "shredgrass" footstompin' music.
I was rooting for another Duluthian in the house, Charlie Parr, to win an award. Didn't happen, but if you want to see him in action check out this video from the Minnesota Stories archives.
No doubt HowWasTheShow and Ross Raihala will have more to say about the awards. We do too - more video, anyway, in the coming days.

I saw them last year at a Halloween party in Duluth and after copious amounts of Summit EPA jokingly requested an Iron Maiden tune. Much to my surprise the fella' playing mandolin obliged...
Wow - this reminds me of Commander Cody turning country into redneck rock with "Hot Rod Lincoln," although obviously different. Maybe it's the liquor talking but I love this kind of thing. It's electrifying.
Ah, yes - I remember back in the day when I used to jam with my friend Jamey, playing "Dazed and Confused" on a mandolin. Crazy times.

TBT are cool shit... they'd be down with the New Patroit, Chuck.
TBT needs to let the air out of their heads. Great music but big egos!

Ryan...you have no idea what you are talking about. This is the most humble band to come around in a long time. Walk up to them, shake their hands, and you will only be greeted with a warm smile and a kind soul. In the feature, "keep your words of wisdom to yourself."
