    Trampled By Turtles

    State Theatre of Ithaca, 107 W State St, Ithaca · verified Sep 4
    See details

    Presented by DSP Shows and the State Theatre of Ithaca, this concert pairs Trampled By Turtles with Wild Horses. Trampled By Turtles began in Duluth after frontman Dave Simonett lost most of his gear to car thieves and rebuilt around an acoustic guitar, recruiting musicians who were new to bluegrass, among them fiddler Ryan Young, bassist Tim Saxhaug, mandolinist Erik Berry, and banjo player Dave Carroll. The result is a quick-striding blend of bluegrass and folk powered by rock energy. Their broad reach has taken every album to No. 1 on Billboard’s bluegrass chart and put them on major stages such as Coachella, Austin City Limits, and Lollapalooza. Tours with Shakey Graves, Zach Bryan, Wilco, Caamp, Mt Joy, Willie Nelson, the Avett Brothers, and Lord Huron have grown a devoted audience. Highlights include the Jeff Tweedy produced album Alpenglow and a recent cover of Bon Iver’s For Emma featuring Taylor Meier of Caamp, with more collaborations on the way. Wild Horses, a husband and wife duo from northern Minnesota who live off-grid in a hand-built cabin between tours, bring rootsy Americana marked by heartfelt vocals, standout harmonies, driving rhythms, and explosive dynamics. After well-received support runs with Trampled By Turtles and Muscadine Bloodline, they are gaining momentum across the upper Midwest and headlining their own shows. Charley Crockett has invited them to provide direct support at his outdoor Minneapolis performance at Surly Field. Their track Sioux Falls draws on the people and places found along the great American highway.

    DSP Shows presents an evening with Garrison Keillor at the Hangar Theatre in Ithaca. The longtime creator and host of A Prairie Home Companion, he spent four decades on the air, wrote fiction and comedy, and imagined the town of Lake Wobegon, famous for children who are all above average. Raised in an evangelical separatist flock that anticipated the end of the world, he brings that history to storytelling rich with humor and reflection. In retirement he has published a memoir and a book of limericks, is developing a musical and a Lake Wobegon screenplay, and he still delivers The Writers Almanac to internet subscribers every day at no cost. Audiences have praised these shows, with AP News noting that “fans laughed, applauded and sang along,” the LA Times observing that his performances can transform a room into a small town community, and the Omaha-World Herald calling him “an expert at making you feel at home with his low-key, familiar style.”

    360 Hot & Cold Therapy Workshops

    See details

    Explore contrast therapy in a guided workshop that pairs the deep warmth of a traditional Finnish barrel sauna with the invigorating chill of a commercial cold plunge. The session begins with a calming breathing exercise to help oxygenate the body and prepare for temperature shifts, offering a thoughtful way to refresh your mind and body. The sauna portion can support healthy circulation, soothe sore muscles, ease stress, and contribute to cardiovascular wellness. The cold immersion may help reduce inflammation, firm the skin, bolster immune response, and spark endorphins for an energizing lift. Before entering the cold tank, participants are required to use a heated outdoor shower to rinse away debris, oils, deodorants, and perfumes. Bring a bathing suit, a towel, a water bottle, and a warm change of clothes. Note for safety: This experience is not suitable for everyone. Those with heart conditions, individuals who are pregnant, or those who are menstruating should use caution because prolonged heat or extreme cold can pose risks. Consult a healthcare provider before participating in sauna or cold plunge activities to determine what is appropriate for your health.

    DSP Shows and the State Theatre of Ithaca present an evening on Judy Collins’s Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Farewell Tour, with Oakland Rain opening. Collins’s artistry has shaped generations through a soaring voice, candid songwriting, and lifelong advocacy, spanning a vast catalog of recordings and acclaimed interpretations of folk standards alongside her own originals. Her take on Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now is enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame, and her intimate rendition of Stephen Sondheim’s Send in the Clowns earned the Grammy for Song of the Year. She has enjoyed multiple top-ten singles as well as gold and platinum releases, and her influence has been saluted by artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen. In recent years she has experienced a creative surge that includes six new albums, Spellbound, her first collection written entirely by herself that received a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, and a poetry book that extends the honesty and grace found in her songs. This farewell run offers a final opportunity to experience her voice and storytelling in a live setting, with an expansive itinerary across North America and beyond. Oakland Rain brings a rich, transatlantic perspective to the stage. The twin-sister duo has released multiple EPs, composed albums for Ibsen theater, and issued a Norwegian-language record praised for its lyric writing, amassing more than three million Spotify streams. Their work includes film compositions and a pop project highlighted by Billboard, and they have toured widely in Norway, the United States, and Europe. Appearances span prestigious festivals, halftime performances in major stadiums, national television and international radio, and a special performance for Norway’s Crown Prince and Crown Princess in recognition of their engagement with UN goals. Their double album Twin Flames explores identity through contrasting colors and styles, blending earthy Americana with Nordic-tinged alternative pop while reflecting on the unique bond of twins and the tension between fear and freedom.
