"Long a favorite in and around their Kansas City home,Trampled Under Foot should soon be getting the wider audience that they deserve. Dual winners at the 2008 International Blues Challenge, for best band and the most promising guitarist, TUF may well be the best family blues band since Stevie Ray and Jimmie. They are clearly the best with two left-handed guitarists. Danielle, Nick and Kris Snebelen are siblings in their 20s and definitely not a family novelty act. Nick just won the Albert King award for his guitar work and Kris is rock solid on drums. But little sister Danielle is truly something special. She is a fine bass player, but her voice is phenomenal...soft and gentle, smoky and sultry, and with rough, gut wrenching power. She is a blues singer well beyond her years. This is good, but really an EP, less than 28 minutes long. "White Trash" is 75+ minutes, recorded live in 2005, and a better introduction to the breadth and depth of their music. They are about to release a new CD, which will include the winning set from the IBC. Visit their website tufkc.com for audio clips and the IBC awards videos."
