Turnpike Troubadours

About

Turnpike Troubadours are one of the most authentic and compelling voices in Red Dirt country music. Formed in 2005 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, the band consists of Evan Felker (lead vocals, guitar), Kyle Nix (fiddle, vocals), Ryan Engleman (guitar, vocals), RC Edwards (bass guitar, vocals), and Gabe Pearson (drums, vocals).

Known for their raw, unfiltered storytelling and electrifying live performances, the Troubadours blend traditional country with folk and rock influences to create a sound that's both timeless and distinctly their own. Their six studio albums, released on their own Bossier City Records imprint, showcase their evolution from regional favorites to national touring powerhouses. After a brief but highly publicized hiatus in 2019, the band reunited in 2021 to overwhelming fan support, selling out shows across the country and proving their devoted fanbase remained as strong as ever. With 2.2M monthly Spotify listeners and a reputation as one of the hardest-working bands in country music, Turnpike Troubadours continue to define what authentic Red Dirt music sounds like in the modern era.
