Photo By Kevin Fulford Roots music, as the name implies, is based in large part on tradition, yet at the same time, some of the best roots based music is also predicated on challenging that tradition and expanding upon it. This past Sunday, Lee's Palace played host to two bands who both seem to fit nicely in this progressive tradition. These United States are currently on tour in support of their latest, self-titled album, a concept album of sorts covering numerous styles of American music from the past century or so, and featuring collaborations [...]

We've been fans of the bluegrass stylings of Trampled By Turtles since Ryan first wrote about the Duluth, Minn.-based act all the way back in December of 2009, as they were gearing up to release their "breakthrough" studio album, Palomino . The record debuted at number one on Billboard's bluegrass charts, and remained in their top ten for well over a year, while also charting not only on the industry reporting rag's Heatseekers' chart, but also on their Indie one as well, peaking at number 11 and 46, respectively. That's quite a feat [...]

The [...]
