Trampled Under Foot

Kansas City Blues Siblings Trio

An American Soul/Blues and Blues/Rock band, TUF was formed in KC, MO in 2000. The original trio consisted of siblings Danielle, Nick, and Kris Schnebelen (bass, guitar, and drums respectively). Their father, Bob, played guitar with a KC band named Little Eva & The Works, and his children grew up on jam sessions his band would host. Once together, their self-titled debut album was released in 2006, followed by “The Philadelphia Sessions” in 2007. Trampled Under Foot won the International Blues Challenge in 2008, after which they released “ Live At Nottoden Blues Festival” in 2010 and “Wrong Side Of The Blues” in 2011. Their 2013 album, “Badlands” reached number one on the US Billboard Top Blues Albums Chart. That same album won ‘Contemporary Blues Album of the Year” at the 2014 Blues Music Awards. Danielle also won ‘Best Instrumentalist- Bassist Category’ at that ceremony, where the band additionally was nominated for ‘Band of the Year’.
