Blue Turtle Seduction started as a concept in the spring of 2001 in a backcountry community of Lake Tahoe, California. Its goal was to serve as a co-op for musicians to join and play their original material together. In February of 2002 a portion of those members took the step to solidify the line-up and commit to creating a successful endeavor into the broad musical world.
Drawing upon its members diverse experiences and musical educations, Blue Turtle Seduction has thrived to offer a style that expands through a spectrum of their personal influences and fuse them together to form their “High-Altitude Bohemian Tribal Funk Grass” sound. The band grabs elements from various roots music and injects a flavor of Tahoe adrenaline, creating a form of lifestyle music that is defined through bluegrass, mountain-reggae, world music, organic hip-hop and funk.
Blue Turtle Seduction sees its music as a constant evolution involving dedicated individuals who continually inspire each other as well as learn from each other. Their natural setting is in the live performance; they continue to build their fan base through compulsively danceable, energetically rewarding, celebratory shows. The band looks forward to venturing from its high Sierra home and expanding the experience on a regional, statewide, and nationwide level.
