Turnpike Troubadours – A Reunion That Fans Have Been Waiting For

Turnpike Troubadours may be country music‘s hardest working band. Comprised of singer-songwriters Evan Felker and Kyle Nix, fiddle player Hank Early, guitarist Ryan Engleman, bassist RC Edwards, and drummer Gabe Pearson, since returning on May 14 they’ve been touring across the country with one sold out show after another — most recently Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre sold out upon their full return for good! Fans had long anticipated this momentous occasion when fans had welcomed back their musical talent; literary songs with foot stoming melodies created an identity of their own in an age when Big Country music had become just another genre.

Turnpike Troubadours have long been beloved favorites among their fans, yet something special remains about their live performances. From headlining arenas to small town diners, Turnpike Troubadours’ music shines brightest when performed live – something “Before The Devil Knows We’re Dead” proves when seen onstage with so much energy that even longtime listeners become entranced by its infectious energy.

After an extended six year hiatus from performing, Felker resumed leading Reckless Kelly while Nix and Edwards/Pearson kept working on R.C and The Ambers as side projects – all the while keeping his magic alive by producing unforgettable shows for their loyal fanbase.
