One of America's most beloved bands, Turnpike Troubadours made their late-night television debut last night performing their single, “Mean Old Sun,” on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Known for their electric live shows, the band will continue to perform through this summer including upcoming headline dates at Oklahoma City's Paycom Center (two nights), Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre (two nights), Jacksonville's Daily's Place, Baton Rouge's Raising Cane's River Center Arena, Macon's Macon Amphitheater and Wichita's INTRUST Bank Arena among others.

The band will also perform a special co-headline run with Cody Jinks as well as select stadium shows with Chris Stapleton and Zach Bryan later this year. See below for complete tour itinerary.   

The upcoming performances add to a landmark year for the band, who achieved their career-best first week with their acclaimed new album, A Cat in the Rain (Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers, stream/purchase here). 

Produced by Shooter Jennings and recorded at Muscle Shoals' Fame Recording Studios and Dave's Room in Los Angeles, the record marks a major return for the band following their self-imposed hiatus in 2019 and landed on several “Best of 2023” lists including Rolling Stone, The AV Club, Brooklyn Vegan, No Depression, Wide Open Country, Whiskey Riff and more. 

Pioneers of the Red Dirt music scene, Turnpike Troubadours has amassed a massive following throughout their career with more than 1.5 billion streams globally and over 1.28 million equivalent units sold to-date. 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).
