Infamous Stringdusters and Trampled By Turtles Tour

TWO PREMIERE NEXT GENERATION STRING OUTFITS COLLIDE

“The Infamous Stringdusters epitomizes the ethic of today’s young ‘new-grass’ artists. Their instrumental virtuosity is front and center, but it’s paired with an insouciant curiosity for everything from shiny Nashville harmonies to jam-band wonkery.” – LA Times
