Career

The band was formed in 2007, with original members including Evan Felker and R.C. Edwards. Bossier City was recorded a month after the formation after the band, in order to have a recording to sell at live shows.[3] Felker later said the musical arrangements were "not a good representation" of what the band later became.[3] The songs "Easton and Main" and "Bossier City" were re-recorded for their 2015 self-titled album.[3] Turnpike Troubadours’ most recent album, A Long Way from Your Heart, was released in October of 2017 and peaked at #3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

As of May 31, 2019, the band is on indefinite hiatus.
