We are an upbeat band, headed by 2 females and backed by 2 males. Our lead instrument is a violin and mandolin, which is still unexpected these days in rock, blues, and pop music.
Our vocalist has a strong, spunky, yet sometimes pretty and sassy voice.
We have a huge following now. People are really suprised by how different we are.
We incorporate, rock, blues, folk, funk, progressive, Celtic...everything

Press reviews
Local newcomers The Trollies convey a lilting, folk-rock approach on their
debut disc, 'Fountain Pennies' but color all that with a sassy, blues-rock
edge onstage. Spunky vocalist/guitarist Nikki Lunden sings tough but
pretty; Natalie Brown is a wonder on violin and mandolin, and the rhythm
section of bassist Adam Grosso and drummer Seth Koenig anchors
the passionate, original material. A band to watch. ---Jim Musser, Iowa
