Renowned bluegrass-folk band Trampled by Turtles is scheduled to perform Saturday, Feb. 28, at the University of Wyoming.

Tickets to the concert, set for 8 p.m. in the College of Arts and Sciences auditorium, are available starting Monday, Jan. 19, at 10 a.m. via www.uwyo.edu/finearts.

Public ticket sales start Monday, Jan. 26, at a cost of $40. Tickets are available at the Wyoming Union information desk, Fine Arts box office or http://www.uwyo.edu/finearts.

Trampled by Turtles formed in 2003 in Duluth, Minn. The band made its first national television appearance in 2012 on “The Late Show With David Letterman” and has performed at major festivals such as Coachella, Bumbershoot, and Lollapalooza. Trampled by Turtles also sold out its headlining show at the prestigious Red Rocks Amphitheatre this past fall.

With signature harmonies, the band seeks to blur the lines between folk and bluegrass by creating its own unique sound. The latest album, “Wild Animals,” finds the band at the peak of its potential after a decade together.

Also scheduled to perform is Elephant Revival, a quintet from Nederland, Colo., who music contains elements of gypsy, rock, Celtic, alt-country and folk.
