A KPBS investigation uncovered staff at a local resettlement agency, which relies on federal dollars, were encouraging or facilitating refugees to lie on rental documents in order to get housing. The inaccurate forms left some refugee families vulnerable to losing their homes. Since publication, the agency’s director resigned, and the organization conducted an internal review, retrained its staff and reassessed how it places large refugee families into homes.

Indie outfit Trampled By Turtles is coming to San Diego for their brand new Alpenglow Tour! Trampled by Turtles are from Duluth, Minnesota, where frontman Dave Simonett initially formed the group as a side project in 2003. At the time, Simonett had lost most of his music gear, thanks to a group of enterprising car thieves who'd ransacked his vehicle while he played a show with his previous band. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar, he began piecing together a new band, this time taking inspiration from bluegrass, folk, and other genres that didn't rely on amplification. Simonett hadn't played any bluegrass music before, and he filled his lineup with other newcomers to the genre, including fiddler Ryan Young (who'd previously played drums in a speed metal act) and bassist Tim Saxhaug. Along with mandolinist Erik Berry and banjo player Dave Carroll, the group began carving out a fast, frenetic sound that owed as much to rock & roll as bluegrass. The group has played festivals from Coachella to Lollapalooza to Bonnaroo and their last 3 releases have all hit #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Album chart. See them live at The Observatory North Park on January 21 at 7:00 p.m.
