Turnpike Troubadours Announce Hiatus, Cancel Tour Dates

The Turnpike Troubadours are going on an indefinite hiatus.

The country music group from Oklahoma – fiddler Kyle Nix, singer Evan Felker, drummer Gabriel Pearson, guitarist Ryan Engleman, bass player RC Edwards, and accordion/steel player Hank Early – have also canceled all of their upcoming shows.

“We want nothing more than the opportunity for to heal, and to not put all of you through this ever again,” the band, founded in 2005, wrote on Instagram on Friday (May 31).

They added that they may come back at “a time we feel that everyone is of strong mind, body and spirit and can deliver what our fans deserve.”

Evan dated fellow country singer Miranda Lambert for several months last year before their split.

To Our Fans, We want to again apologize for the abrupt cancellations of our shows this past weekend. We can assure you that the situation was not in our control. We want nothing more than the opportunity for to heal, and to not put all of you through this ever again. To have a chance for any of this, we need to cancel all of our remaining tour dates. Turnpike Troubadours will go on an indefinite hiatus until a time we feel that everyone is of strong mind, body and spirit and can deliver what our fans deserve. Refunds for all scheduled shows can be made at point of purchase. To all of you who have given us so much, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You believed in us, you raised us up, you stuck by us and you gave us more unconditional love than any band could ask for. We are humbled. We ask that you please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we work to support and encourage. Thank you all for everything. We love you!
