Proving that point of origin is no longer an issue when it comes to quality bluegrass, Trampled by Turtles is gaining quite the loyal fan base through recording and well-timed touring. One listen to “Feet and Bones” from its recent Palomino long-player should be more than enough reason to investigate further. This quintet sounds at ease playing at both breakneck speed and, of course, hanging-on-the-porch tempos. If you’ve been paying attention, the resurgence of bluegrass over the last five years is anything but derivative. Hordes of new talent are adding new dimensions to a genre that was in grave danger of being endangered. Bring your dancin’ shoes. 2708 J Street, www.trampledbyturtles.com.
