Giant Flying Turtles

With a sound about as unique as their name, Giant Flying Turtles are carving a place for themselves in, and beyond, the
thriving Brooklyn, New York indie music scene. Their genre bending music has no bounds, inspired by rock, folk, jazz, bluegrass,
and blues this high energy jam trio will blow you away. They have the uncanny ability to capture audiences small and large, young and old.

Johnny and Calvin met while playing in Kreisor on Teepee Records. They soon found they had a lot in common and started playing as a duo
in bars around Brooklyn. It was then that this Maryland Jazz cat and Kansas born Dead Head came to be the musical force they are today.
Soon they met drummer Jim Toscano and the chemistry between the three was obvious.
In 2016, virtuoso guitarist TJ Jordan joined the group making the sound complete.

Their song Raven Hair is featured in the festival favorite One Wall – Kings of Coney Island. Their song Keep My Dream Alive is the
theme of the film Shining In The Dark which was nominated in The Moscow International Film Festival, and they were invited to perform it there.
