Backstory:
Born in the heart of turkey farms in North Dakota, Extroverted Turkey began as a quartet of friends who were raised on country music and poultry farming. The unique name for the band was inspired by the particularly boisterous flock of turkeys in their backyard. This unconventional name was a perfect reflection of their nature – eccentric, exuberant, and full of life. The band was formed in 2007, when the friends were in high school and their shared love for music made them start jamming together in their backyard amidst the gobble of turkeys. Their unique upbringing and connection with their roots gave birth to a distinctive sound, which made them get noticed in the local music scene.
The band gained significant popularity in the local scene, and their quirky name and unique sound soon started to garner attention from outside North Dakota. As a bunch of farm boys with a love for music and an ambition to make it big, Extroverted Turkey decided to take their sound to the big cities. Despite their small-town origins, their music resonated with a wide audience, leading to sold-out concerts and a growing fan base.

Title: “Gobble up the Sunshine”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse)
[G]Every morning when the rooster crows,
[Em]We step out amidst the turkey rows.
[D]Pickin’ up the banjo, strummin’ some old-timey prose,
[C]Music in the air, as the country wind blows.
(Chorus)
[G]Gobble up the sunshine, sing in the rain,
[D]Livin’ life on the prairie, no room for pain.
[Em]With every strum, every beat, every refrain,
[C]We are Extroverted Turkey, born in the grain.
(Verse)
[G]We got the wide-open fields, as our concert stage,
[Em]Under the starry night, we unleash our rage.
[D]With the turkeys gobblin’, setting the pace,
[C]In this symphony of life, we have found our cage.
(Chorus)
[G]Gobble up the sunshine, bask in the moonlight,
[D]Strumming our stories from morning till night.
[Em]With every song, every note, we ignite,
[C]We are Extroverted Turkey, flying in the sky so bright.
