Turpin's Trail is a Kingston, Ontario based trio consisting of Jon McLurg, Chris Murphy and Noah St. Amand, often joined by our friend accordonist Joe Sexton. Upcoming performances are listed below.

With a closet-full of over a dozen instruments and a wealth of great original and traditional songs and tunes, Turpin's Trail brings together three veterans of Kingston's music scene. Individually and as a band the members of Turpin's Trail have shared the stage with the likes of David Francey, Sarah Harmer, Ron Hynes, J.P. Cormier, Fred Eaglesmith, Leahy, and the Masterless Men. Turpin's Trail has played such great venues as the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque and Kingston's Leon's Centre, and embarked on multiple tours of Atlantic Canada as far east as Newfoundland. They were a headline act at the Brimstone Head Folk Festival in beautiful Fogo, NL in 2017 and again in 2022.
