“Their reputation as a live band spectacular grew, which resonates today - “anybody who ever plays after us at a festival really does not like that spot,” guffaws Huey – playing Glastonbury 2008 (on the Jazz Word Stage) to thunderous reception. “The guy who ran the Jazz/World stage at Glastonbury,” says Huey, “told us, ‘there were 40,000 people watching your set, whoever was on after you and had half that’. There’s still people who know. If they’re looking at the flyer at a festival, ‘Dude! Fun Lovin' Criminals are playing in a half hour.' And those are our people. To get to them is why we make music.””

“If Turnpike Troubadours are playing in your town, you’ll know it. A block or two from the venue, you’ll see the crowds lining up. Get closer and you’ll start to hear the music rockin’ hard, lashed by burnin’ fiddle and guitar, maybe a little rough on the edges but with a deep-rooted soul that's impossible to resist.”

As well as fabricating their own records out of various mediums such as copper, stone and clay, they also collaborate with other musicians/artists.”
