Trampled Under Foot (USA)

Trampled Under Foot astub Augustibluusi pealavale laupäeva õhtul. Bändi osalemine festivalil aitab jätkata traditsiooni bluusi naiseliku poole tutvustamisel – nimelt on ansambli solist Danielle Schnebelen kahtlemata üks maailma säravamaid noori bluusilauljaid. Kansasest päris ansambel, võitis 2008. aastal Memphises maailma tähtsaima bluusbändide konkursi The International Blues Challege ning saavutas seejärel laialdase tuntuse nii USAs kui Euroopas. Bändi kitarrist Nick Schnebelen võitis samal konkursil parima kitarristina Albert Kingi auhinna. Ansambli kuulumisest bluusimaailma tippu annab tunnistust ka käesoleva aasta jaanuaris toimunud esinemine iga-aastasel Kariibimere bluusirevüül The Legendary Rythm & Blues Cruise, mis esitleb maailma bluusi paremikku. Lisaks ilutseb TUF-i pilt käesoleva aasta märtsis ilmunud ajakirja “Blues Revue” esikaanel.

Trampled Under Foot – Siblings Danielle, Kris and Nick Schnebelen grew up with the Blues. Their parents, Bob and Lisa, were active in the thriving Kansas City Blues scene, playing in local bands and competing in the Kansas City Blues Challenge. Bob and Lisa’s band didn’t make it to the International Blues Challenge in Memphis — but their kids did. When TUF arrived in Memphis for the 2008 IBC they were followed by huge, wildly enthusiastic throngs of hometown supporters, eager to cheer for their favorite musical family. And when TUF took First Place in the competition and Nick won the Albert King award for best guitarist, it was a sweet victory for the Schnebelen family and for Kansas City itself. TUF has been on a roll ever since, becoming popular repeat headliners at clubs, festivals and cruises around the world and releasing CDs and a DVD on their own label.
