Sheltered Turtle

Sheltered Turtle | Percussive fingerstyle guitar acrobatics

Sheltered Turtle is a percussive fingerstyle acoustic guitar solo act following in the footsteps of Michael Hedges, Leo Kottke, Don Ross, and Preston Reed. Born on a military base in the Republic of Korea, raised in San Francisco, Germany, and Washington DC, and currently based in Philadelphia, musician and autodidact Henry Nam (AKA Sheltered Turtle) is the product of an international, multicultural upbringing that manifests not only in his diverse musical styling but also in his attitudes about the role of the arts as a universal language able to help people of all backgrounds build meaningful connection and communicate constructively.
