The 4 Peaks Spring Fling Tour is a showcase taster representative of the artists featured at the 4 Peaks Festival, which for two years now has brought the community together for three days of outstanding music and camping in Central Oregon sunshine. Bend’s The Source Weekly named the 4 Peaks Music Festival one of the Top 10 Live Music Events of the 2008, and Source music critic Mike Bookey wrote that “Throughout the weekend, Poor Man’s Whiskey would take the stage three times (four, if you count a late-night campground appearance), dishing out some bluegrass tunes, but mostly unleashing their rock and roll funk machine on 4 Peakers and rightfully earning their role as the fest’s host band.”

“The idea behind the Spring Fling is to gain exposure for everyone and rally for cause,” explains Stacy Totland, 4 Peaks Music Festival manager. “Now more than ever, we absolutely need this community of music lovers and artists to come together and help make the 4 Peaks Festival happen. After two hugely successful years, we’re struggling in the current economy to raise the critical sponsorship and support needed to produce our third festival this year. But if we can generate enough interest and support during this Spring Fling Tour, we’re still hopeful that 4 Peaks will be back.”

:: ABOUT Blue Turtle Seduction

In 2008, Blue Turtle Seduction spent a month-an-a-half creating its new full-length music release “13 Floors” — and the band played more than 160 shows from Hawaii to New York at venues ranging from San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore to the highly regarded High Sierra Music Festival.

“People will also remember that BTS was the band that got the festival crowd on their feet and moving as they rushed from a twangy Americana song to a funk-a-licious groove and back again during their Saturday set.”
— Mike Bookey, The Source Weekly, Bend, OR

“…The kind of music that opens doors to new music, rather than driving listeners to shut out the unfamiliar…BTS has been spreading its own particular brand of…music around the Sierra for years now. It’s not unusual to spot a ‘Keep Tahoe Seductive’ sticker on a passing car.”
– Rob Aulwes, Tahoe Daily Tribune
