Turkuaz recently took a step outside of their usual, funk-filled comfort zone to play a brand new arrangement of their tune "Life in the City." "Life in the City" is the lead track off Turkuaz's 2018's LP of the same name, and the nine-piece band's bluegrass-infused version was featured on the "Sugarshack Sessions" YouTube channel. "We were hesitant to do this at first when we were told it was an 'unplugged' session," frontman Dave Brandwein said of the arrangement via press release. "Our live show is very loud, in-your-face, and most of all, ELECTRIC! – in every sense of the word. But it ended up being an inspiring challenge and opportunity for us to do something totally new. For the first cut from the session, we decided to embrace that challenge to the fullest, and do 'Life in the City' in a completely different style. It worked surprisingly well, and we had a fine time doing it!" For more information about Turkuaz visit the band's official website.
