The soul blues trio Trampled Under Foot consists of siblings Danielle Schnebelen, Nick Schnebelen, and Kris Schnebelen. Growing up, the siblings played separately in numerous bands over the years. Danielle was in Fresh Brew (1999-2004), Kris was a staple at blues clubs, and Nick was in Killing Floor and briefly, Buddahead. Missing the family camaraderie, the siblings formed Trampled Under Foot in 2000, and released four studio sessions: Trampled Under Foot (2006), Philadelphia Sessions (2007), May I Be Excused in (2008), and Wrong Side of the Blues in (2011). The combination of those releases and non-stop touring caught the attention of the jazz and blues label Telarc, who signed the band in 2013. They issued their fifth studio album, Badlands, that same year. ~ Al Campbell
