Turnpike Troubadours

Turnpike Troubadours have extended their “Wild America Tour” with a summer stop at Nashville’s Ascend Federal Credit Union Amphitheater on July 24, in addition to multiple dates through the fall.

The tour adds to another monumental year for Turnpike Troubadours, who were recently honored with a Pandora Billionaire plaque, celebrating the achievement of being streamed over one billion times on the platform. The accolade follows the release of their surprise album, The Price of Admission, last spring via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers.

Produced by Shooter Jennings, the record debuted at #1 on the iTunes all-genre and country charts, the Billboard Digital Albums and Current Digital Albums Sales charts and further cements the band as an undeniable musical force. Released to widespread acclaim, Rolling Stone praises, “with Red Dirt as a genre enjoying its greatest popularity…The Price of Admission serves as a reminder that Turnpike is still the genre’s torchbearer,” while Spin calls them “a leading force in the gritty, authentic ‘Red Dirt’ country genre” and Whiskey Riff declares, “Turnpike Troubadours have continued to prove time and time again that they are the greatest band of all time.”

Turnpike Troubadours has amassed a massive following throughout their career with more than 2.2 billion streams globally and over 1.7 million equivalent units sold to date. Furthermore, the band was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, appeared in the penultimate episode of “Yellowstone” performing three songs (“Good Lord Lorrie,” “Brought Me” and “Pay No Rent”) and has become a recurring presence in Paramount’s show “Landman,” with eight of their songs featured to date.

Since their 2005 debut, Turnpike Troubadours has released six studio albums including 2023’s A Cat in the Rain, which was released to overwhelming acclaim. The Associated Press praised, “they’ve returned with the kind of ferocity that feels destined to put them right back on that long-term upward trajectory…The earnestness is palpable,” while Spinproclaimed, “the Oklahoma group is better than ever…one of the most beloved groups in country and roots music.” Originally from Tahlequah, OK, Turnpike Troubadours is Evan Felker (vocals, guitar), Kyle Nix (fiddle), Ryan Engleman (electric guitar), RC Edwards (bass), Gabe Pearson (drums) and Hank Early (steel, accordion).
