Give him a shot. He's kind of blowing up and has a few songs on country radio right now. Some people will say he's too bro-y but he has some good songwriting and songs.
Was wearing a TT shirt at Red Rocks the other night and struck up a conversation with a guy also wearing a TT shirt. He said he was from Oklahoma and he assured me that he had “inside info” that a surprise reunion was happening at Medicine Stone in September. So it’s been confirmed by a random drunken, stoned dude from Oklahoma that it’s happening!
Felker's wife is annoying on Insta, but based on all her posts seems like there seems to be a plan for him to return. She keeps hinting at it
feel very lucky to have seen them in Athens in April 2019. Great time with 3 of my best friends. Feel like there’s intermittent rumors about Evan doing really well and close to coming back but never pans out.
Rhett Miller of the Old 97s is helping host a virtual benefit for cystic fibrosis tonight. of note, Evan Felker is supposed to be making an appearance
Evan played Every Girl, he looks good and sounds great even through his wife's camera phone. Rocking the familiar denim blue button down. not gonna lie and say I didn't choke up a tiny bit, love Evan so much. now playing 7&7
guess the Reddit rumor is Fulbright would be the lead singer. it's not the same but at least he has legit songwriting chops and a history with the band. but yeah overall Evan is the one person I'd consider to be irreplaceable in the group.
Can’t blame the other guys for wanting to get back together. The last couple years has had to be tough on them. I like Fullbright. Obviously not the same without Felker, but at least this is progress in a positive direction.
I know many are not big Trigger guys, but he certainly seems confident in his info here (he also says in the comments he's heard nothing about Fulbright, fwiw). https://www.savingcountrymusic.com/something-is-brewing-with-the-turnpike-troubadours/
Have a hard time believing they'd stick under the Turnpike name without felker, hopefully they're announcing a new album
Hell, I’d settle for a pre-recorded “live” ticketed streaming show that we got from a bunch of bands at the peak of the Pandemic
Dunno if he's actually connected or not but hopefully that's good news. Wonder how long they make us wait to unveil whatever it is they are teasing
Rita Ballou on the radio this week just straight up said they have already been in studio and said nothing of a missing felker
Felker’s wife posted this to her story. https://instagram.com/stories/staci...ce=ig_story_item_share&utm_medium=share_sheet
Broken Bow is mentioned in multiple Lorrie songs, and is about 10 minutes from Hochatown. Not sayin’, just sayin’.
I think the coming soon is in reference to cains ballroom. Though that was announced as RCs band, Kyle Nixs band and another dude
I wonder if Evan even knows his wife is always posting all this weird attention seeking shit. He seems like the type of guy that doesn’t waste his time with all the social media bullshit.
