Blue Turtle Seduction captures Mountain Soul

This local band has really surfaced.
Playing gigs across the country, and in their favorite locale - Lake Tahoe.
Their South Shore roots out at Fallen Leaf Lake, and love for Tahoe are captured in their song, Mountain Sol, that pays tribute to our mountain culture.
And, for many in Tahoe, our priorities.
Mountain Sol - Jay A. Seals, Ron Buck
No need to go to work today. It snowed all last night and there’s more on the way.
No need to worry about what you’re going to say, when you see her out on the street today.
It doesn’t matter anyway.Swimming in waters about thirty-three degrees. Just a crazy way to bring in the spring.
Working on the engines, lighten up the load. Summer time is coming soon and it’s time to hit the road.May time move slow, when it’s all said and done.
There’s still so much to do under the sun.When the mountain is white and sun’s shining bright then we just might forget about all the rest.
About BTS (from their website):
When Blue Turtle Seduction played their first show in 2001 it was… well… rough around the edges, sloppy, chaotic, and … one hell of a great time. From the beginning there was a raw and original sound, a clear and intense vibe, and the energy was through the roof.
It was the rebellious outdoor spirit of South Lake Tahoe, CA (work hard, play harder) wrapped into electric guitar and mandolin; harmonica, harmonies, and adrenaline; drums, bass, and violin.
Fast forward to 2007 and find a band that dedicated itself to practice and playing as many shows as possible to polish that rough sound into something that has been winning fans over night after night from small town to big city, from Hawaii to New York City, and from dive bar to famous theatres all while marching to beat of their own drummer.
And while the big question spreads from mouth to mouth, “What kind of music is it?!” The band and fans alike scratch their head and offer, “Well its jam-newgrass?, how about gypsy rock?, no its Duran Duran meets String Cheese Incident, meets the Clash … no its not, its Blind Melon meets the Samples… forget it, just come to the show!
And whether its the show, the two studio CDs, or internet downloads you’ll find music with meaning, lyrics that dive into two feet of fresh snow and ride the wave through the apocalypse landing on a sunny beach with tequila in hand with a spirit that kind of dares, “Go big or go home!”
