Tortue
Tortue is an all-original swamp-rock band made up of veteran musicians from the Lafayette/ Opelousas area. Displaying wide-ranging influences from Excello records to Creedence to The Band in the writing, Tortue puts it across with stellar playing and big fun.

Danny Kimball on drums, originally from Lake Charles, is a veteran of Louisiana music and countless bands going back to his teen years with the Bad Roads.
Lee Tedrow, bass, originally from Minnesota, has a long history in music including The Barking Ducks, Geno Delafose and The Nouveau String Band.
Blake Castille, guitar, from Opelousas has played all his life with his father Hadley Castille, Cheryl Cormier, Crystal Plamondon and area rock bands.
Phil Kaelin, guitar, originally from Ohio, rounds out the roster. He has played for years with rock bands including Synergy in Maine, as a singer-songwriter as a solo act, in Maine and Nashville and with Hadley Castille as a bass player for the last four years.
One reviewer called Tortue “The best 70’s rock I’ve never heard!”
