Turnpike Troubadours

The Turnpike Troubadours are an American country music group hailing from Oklahoma, known for their vivid storytelling and rootsy sound that effortlessly blends elements of Americana, Red Dirt, and outlaw country. Coming together in 2005, the band consists of frontman Evan Felker, R.C. Edwards on bass, Kyle Nix on the fiddle, Ryan Engleman on lead guitar, Gabe Pearson on drums, and Hank Early on pedal steel and accordion.

With albums like "Goodbye Normal Street" (2012) and "A Long Way from Your Heart" (2017), the Turnpike Troubadours have captured the rich tapestry of life in rural America, touching on themes of love, loss, and redemption. The band has a knack for creating characters and narratives that resonate deeply with their audience, best exemplified in songs like "The Bird Hunters," "Down Here," and "The Housefire." Over the years, they have garnered critical acclaim and accumulated a string of hits within the country music scene, solidifying their place as one of the most compelling acts in the contemporary Red Dirt movement. Despite a brief hiatus, the Turnpike Troubadours continue to be celebrated for their authenticity and the evocative power of their music.
