Turnpike Troubadours Cancel More Shows Into September
This story has been updated.
The Turnpike Troubadours have canceled yet another round of shows affecting performances in late August and up to their appearance at the Medicine Stone Festival on September 21st, which is still on. Their show Thursday night (8-30) at the Beaumont Event and Concert Hall in Wayne, Nebraska was canceled Thursday afternoon, even though earlier in the day all indications were the show was still set to occur.
“We regret to announce The Turnpike Troubadours’ concert scheduled for tonight, August 30th, has been cancelled due to a medical emergency,” the venue said in a statement posted at 12:15 p.m. local time. “Ticket refunds are available from your point of purchase. We hope to have information about a rescheduled date for the concert very soon.”
Saving Country Music had checked earlier in the day to confirm Nebraska show was not canceled, and it wasn’t at that time. But subsequently all tour dates leading up to Medicine Stone in late September have been removed from Turnpike’s website, as well as on their social media feeds.
Other shows affected are the band’s show at The Blue Note in Columbia, Missouri where the Turnpike Troubadours were scheduled to appear Friday, August 31st with Shooter Jennings, and the Robinson Performance Hall in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, September 1st, which confirmed to Saving Country Music the cancellation.
The performance at the Beaver Dam Amphitheater in Beaver Dam, Kentucky on September 2nd with Shooter Jennings and Chris Knight was also cancelled by the Turnpike Troubadours, but Shooter Jennings and Chris Knight will still be performing, with partial or full refunds being offered to ticket holders.
Thursday afternoon the Turnpike Troubadours released a statement:
To Our Fans,
We want to apologize for the past couple weeks of cancellations. We are working through some family and medical issues that have made it impossible for us to be on tour. Fortunately we have some time off over the next couple of weeks, and are looking forward to taking this time to regroup and resolve everything. We are very sorry for any disappointement and appreciate your continued support! We look forward to seeing you all very soon.
Evan, Gabe, Ryan, RC, Kyle, Hank, Turnpike Troubadours
The band first canceled their final appearances on the Miranda Lambert / Little Big Town “Bandwagon Tour” August 23rd and 24th, but expressed at that time that all future shows were still on. Then they canceled their appearance at the Fayetteville Roots Festival on October 26th, citing Evan Felker’s difficulty passing kidney stones.
“The band was present and prepared to play, but after evaluation it was advised that Evan Felker should not perform tonight,” the band said. “We sincerely apologize to the fans and festival staff for this unfortunate situation.”
Saving Country Music will continue to monitor the situation for any future cancellations or updates. The band has not addressed the cancellations at this time.

If it is health, I hope the best. If it is personal, it’s personal. Don’t care about tabloid stuff.
But cancelling two shows in a month’s time in mid-Missouri is bound to sour some folks.
August 30, 2018 @ 12:42 pm
I can’t wait to come back to this comments section in 12 hours lol.
On topic: I was told the original cancellations due to a “family medical emergency” involved a different member and that these are entirely seperate instances ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
August 30, 2018 @ 1:34 pm
The original explanation for the cancellations from the Bandwagon Tour was “serious family emergenCIES,” so that could explain the kidney stones, and something else involving another member.
A lot of people love to surmise what’s going on here, but we’ve all had instances when multiple problems come at us all at once and the only thing you can do is pause life and take care of your stuff.
August 30, 2018 @ 2:46 pm
My point is that if this were the first I was hearing about this, I would assume it was all the kidney stones because this post doesn’t acknowledge that they’re seperate instances with seperate reasons given.
August 30, 2018 @ 3:22 pm
The just released an updated statement (added above) that says, “We are working through some family and medical issues,” so hopefully that help to broaden people’s perspectives.
August 30, 2018 @ 3:24 pm
Thanks for keeping everyone up to date, Trigger.
If not for SCM, I’m not sure I ever would’ve found my favorite band.
September 4, 2018 @ 11:20 am
We were going to one of the cancelled shows this week end, and were so disappointed! We did get to see them last April, and it was by far one of the best shows I’ve seen in years (and we see a lot of live music). I’m hoping the issues get resolved, as I did notice they’ve added some new tour dates later in the fall that we can make.
September 6, 2018 @ 8:06 am
Billy Don Burns is also canceling shows like crazy
I have been trying to catch him in the Chicagoland area for over a year now.
August 30, 2018 @ 12:49 pm
Rehab ?
August 30, 2018 @ 12:57 pm
Their dates were off their website since aprox. 11AM central time- because people noticed- but they still waited another 3 hours or so to publicly cancel.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:01 pm
Is the Beaver Dam show cancelled on 9/2 as well? It’s no longer on their website, but the venue hasn’t posted anything.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:37 pm
I believe Turnpike’s performance there is cancelled, but I am working to confirm whether the entire event is since it involves multiple performers. I have been updating the story as more info comes in and is confirmed. Wanted to let folks know ASAP about the cancellation for tonight.
August 30, 2018 @ 6:37 pm
Turnpike is officially cancelled for Beaver Dam. The other two are playing with a partial refund to attendees. Full refunds are available as well
August 30, 2018 @ 6:49 pm
I just got confirmation that the Turnpike Troubadours will not be part of the Beaver Dam, Kentucky concert. However, the show will go on with Shooter and Chris Knight (with full band), which makes it a better concert in my opinion.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:08 pm
That’s one helluva kidney stone.
August 30, 2018 @ 6:53 pm
The kidney stone at the bottle of a bottle.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:11 pm
No!! I was going to bring my daughter to her first concert tomorrow in Columbia, MO. She’s not going to take this well at all, was unbelievably excited to see Turnpike. Well, shit happens I guess.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:38 pm
That sucks Jim Bob. Hopefully they reschedule the dates.
August 30, 2018 @ 3:13 pm
Jim Bob, don’t know what part of the state you are in, but they’re going to be in St Louis at the Pageant in November, and brought my girls to see them there before. Nice little under-21 section of seats.
August 30, 2018 @ 7:49 pm
I’ll have to look into that! In Jeff City so Columbia’s convenient as hell. Daughter’s almost 10 so most concerts she can’t go to-she started crying when we told her, made me feel like a dick. But shit happens, I’ll find another under-21 concert to bring her to. Might be at the Pageant!
August 30, 2018 @ 1:15 pm
The Blue Note in Columbia, MO just posted on FB the whole thing is cancelled and will be rescheduled.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:30 pm
Because we’re all without sin, we’ve never cheated on anyone or called in sick to cover for a hangover, let’s all pile on Evan Felker!
Whatever internal organ is ailing, I hope everyone feels better soon.
August 31, 2018 @ 4:35 am
You do realize people can simultaneously be disappointed without being holier than thou, right?
Your post comes off as a strawmen.
August 30, 2018 @ 1:58 pm
I wish Evan the best.
August 30, 2018 @ 2:29 pm
Well shoot. I had tickets for the Little Rock show.
August 30, 2018 @ 2:34 pm
Sorry for all the people with tickets. At the same time, hope the time off helps resolve whatever the issues are – no matter what they are. The only set of theirs I’ve seen was only 30 mins, but I enjoyed it. Hope to see them headline someday.
August 30, 2018 @ 2:45 pm
I’m not happy about all of this but I know one thing. If the band survives this bullshit there will be some epic songs cut in the next couple of years.
August 30, 2018 @ 4:38 pm
How did “no show Jones” survive w/o social media?
August 30, 2018 @ 5:07 pm
That’s exactly how he survived. No social media meant no 24 hour news/gossip cycle and no 10,000 trolls commenting on everything that was none of their damn business.
August 30, 2018 @ 5:40 pm
I assume it was ok for Miranda to troll the victim who happened to be Evan’s wife with her vicious IG postings in February when the public not aware. Many became friends of Stacie over the years during her support of Evan and TT. Therefore disappointment that he had no consideration of his wife or TT is understandable.
August 31, 2018 @ 4:10 am
What in my comment caused you to assume that I would be ok with any of that? Not being a smart ass.
August 30, 2018 @ 5:14 pm
Well allow me to edumacate you, if I may. Because I just learned from a commenter on a recent Kane Brown post, that before KB blazed the trail with “tech” aka social media, artists used to promote themselves via CB radio. So there’s that…
August 30, 2018 @ 4:40 pm
This is really too bad. They were starting to get some popular traction and success. The timing is poor, to say the least. I hope fans will take this is stride, be understanding, and not bail.That said, I also hope that whatever emergencies/problems they are having can be resolved quickly and happily and that this isn’t a precursor to a break up. There’s potential for greatness in there, they’re last album was great and the next one will be better.
August 30, 2018 @ 5:00 pm
Their Nov. 4 show in Kalamazoo has disappeared from their website and is listed as canceled due to “a tour scheduling conflict” on the Kalamazoo State Theater website.
August 30, 2018 @ 5:50 pm
He broke her rules.
August 30, 2018 @ 7:46 pm
Yeah. She only dates married men and now he’s divorced. She is no longer interested.
August 30, 2018 @ 7:57 pm
LOL poor Evan getting his first taste of the Nashville PR Grinder. He’s a drunk cheating rule breaker while Miranda is adopting kittens. It’s a perfect set up for the next round of CMA voting.
August 31, 2018 @ 11:17 am
^^^^^^This. Nailed it! I was wondering why Miranda was actively posting newly adopted kitten pics. Evan got run through the shredder. I’m hoping they come back strong. Supposed to seem them in Nov for the first time!
August 31, 2018 @ 12:39 pm
It’s so transparent.
August 31, 2018 @ 12:27 pm
Puppies (and now kittens) are her PR groups quick response whenever there is bad press. Soon to be followed up by a kiss-ass interview with no comment section to call her out. Turnpike Troubadour fans really need to consider how much she instigated this situation and the mayhem she has caused.
August 31, 2018 @ 11:26 pm
Why don’t you just mind your own busines Leave MIRANDA LAMBERT and evan felker out of your busines i love Miranda lambert and turnpike troubadours so back off.
September 1, 2018 @ 7:39 am
Modern women have traded children for snuggly puppies and cute kitties. Wash your birth control pills down with a red bull and head to the club.
August 30, 2018 @ 6:38 pm
Adultery DESTROYS. And this adultery has cost Evan a heavy price. He needs Jesus Christ before he ends up dead.
Proverbs 6
“For the commandment [of The LORD] is a lamp and a teaching light,
and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
to preserve you from the evil woman,
from the smooth tongue of the adulteress.
Do not desire her beauty in your heart,
and do not let her capture you with her eyelashes;
for the price of a prostitute is only a loaf of bread,
but an adulteress woman hunts down a precious life.
Can a man carry fire next to his chest
and his clothes not be burned?
Or can one walk on hot coals
and his feet not be scorched?
So is he who goes in to [an adulteress];
none who touches her will go unpunished.”
August 30, 2018 @ 8:06 pm
You need a jello salad recipe but I’m too tired to copy and paste.
August 30, 2018 @ 8:45 pm
That is too funny to describe. However I feel Evan has realized he has fucked up his life. What to do, what to do?
August 30, 2018 @ 9:18 pm
Howl-la-looya! 😀
August 30, 2018 @ 10:56 pm
Nice story. I can feel the love. Those damn ML eyeslashes though. And I would appreciate you bringing the story down home for us common folk. I mean, who can afford to spend a loaf of bread on a prostitute?
Still though, thanks for sharing.

2 Peter 3
‘Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires… For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.”
1 Corinthians 6
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Galatians 5
“Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, adultery, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do[e] such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
Revelation 21
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

The fuck is wrong with you? Triggered much?

I figures a little brevity might be just what a self righteous Jesus freak needs as they cruise the internet spewing hate disguised as religion. ;-). Or, maybe I’m a foul mouthed snowflake.
August 31, 2018 @ 9:06 pm
dude you are fucked up. sorry to use bad language but have some class, man.
August 31, 2018 @ 9:08 pm
i’m not even religious in the slightest but don’t talk to people that way. everyone has the right to believe what they want. chill.
August 31, 2018 @ 9:32 am
The old man in the sky is way too busy to care. He’s updating report cards on 7.4 billion people every day. That’s about 67,000 per second. Santa Claus has it easy compared to that schedule.
August 30, 2018 @ 9:59 pm
I’ve tried to ignor this ongoing sadness (Evan and Staci & TT) for a couple of days now; went kayaking in our God’s lakes here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. While baiting my hook, casting my fishing pole…I couldn’t help but think of how lucky I am! Miranda carries MOST culpability for this tragity! We bait our hooks accordingly, AND keep the trophy fish…but Miranda threw it back of the piranhas!!! She’s probably the only one sleeping at night!
August 31, 2018 @ 4:45 am
“I’ve tried to ignor this ongoing sadness”
Try harder. It’s none of your business.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:53 am
Oh….but it is my business. Why are YOU then reading this… Because it’s your business to hypocrite!
August 31, 2018 @ 9:21 pm
I’m not the one who said they tried to “ignor” it and then posted about it multiple times.
I know your next response will be about how as a Christian you can’t ignore the suffering of others (not that you know personally if people you’ve never met are suffering, you’re just supposing they are). Fine. Don’t ignore it. Pray for them. But keep it to yourself. The Lord never said you have to draw attention to yourself to care about others.
Try not making asinine judgemental posts about how you know what’s better for a group of strangers than they do themselves.
You really are something special.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:43 pm
How in the hell is ML culpable? She was not married! She took no vows! I was told that Evan told her he was separated and had already filed for divorce. He signed the papers on 2/13 and they were filed 2/16 BY EVAN!. Evan ghosted his wife for 2 months. That is not love. How is this ML’s fault if she was led to believe the Felker marriage was over. So sick of the Lambert bashing.
August 30, 2018 @ 10:01 pm
TO the Piranhas… sorry
August 31, 2018 @ 4:34 am
I always thought that Jolene Lambert was cute, in a stumpy little troll sort of way. I saw some pictures of Felker’s ex-wife and she is a stunner. Jolene is much closer to looking like Jack Lambert than she is to that girl. Oh, well. You make your bed and now you have to lie in it.

Romans 1
“And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of cursing, unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them, but give approval to those who practice them.”

Did you eat a lot of paint chips when you were a kid?
August 31, 2018 @ 6:36 am
Hahahaha. Why?
August 31, 2018 @ 6:57 am
I never ate paintchips. But I do believe the Bible. I believe its the Word of God, the very God we will all stand before when we take our last breath. The bible says what it says. You either believe it or you don’t. Either all of its true, or none of it is. You don’t cherry pick verses you like and throw the rest behind your back. And what if every person makes it to Heaven in the end, and no one actually goes to Hell? Well Hallelujah, I will be no worse off if I believe the Bible and obey when I die and I find out i never had to believe a word it said. But if you are the one who is wrong, and the God we all face is the Holy and Just Lord of All, the one the Bible describes, then you will be so much worse off, because you will end up in eternal torment, and there will never be an exit door out and the pain and agony will never ever stop for you.
August 31, 2018 @ 8:03 am
So basically you’re just kind and moral because (you heard) it will work out in your favor, as opposed to being kind and morale because YOU think it’s the right thing to do. Which is better…being selfish or selfless, according to our homeboy Jesus?
August 31, 2018 @ 8:04 am
Why would you possible care/give a crap what Evan Felker does with his life. For Pete’s sake, this is what annoys me the most about so many “religious right” and evangelicals. If Evan Felker wants to make a mess of his personal life, let him. It has no influence on your life or the life of the people who love/care about. This sort of “I know what’s best for everyone” is why I, while still believing in a higher power, walked away from organized religion. Too many petty people caring about other people’s lives, instead of worrying about what is going on in their own backyard.
Do I think Evan Felker is “living his best life” right now? No, but he’s a grown man. If he wants to make a mess of it, let him. Pull the weeds from your own backyard.
August 31, 2018 @ 8:12 am
Just curious. Do you have either of these bumper stickers on your car?
WARNING: In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned
Don’t let my car fool you
My reward is in heaven.
August 31, 2018 @ 9:36 am
Don’t you know…being selfish and feeling superior about getting into heaven isn’t enough, you also have to gloat about it. Since they are so sure its coming, I just wish they would give all their shit away to the needy, BEFORE hand.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:59 am
Since they are so sure its coming, I just wish they would give all their shit away to the needy, BEFORE hand.
Yeah, no. Not required, so screw that.
August 31, 2018 @ 8:57 am
“Either all of its true, or none of it is. You don’t cherry pick verses you like and throw the rest behind your back.”
Huh. So you’re ok with these?
1 Timothy 2:11-15 ESV
Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

Why then is your “profane” word in “****” ?? Maybe because I’m trying to be respectful. Wow read a book or take a college course! Don’t tell me I have to use the word “hypocrite” again!
August 31, 2018 @ 6:29 am
I’ve been waiting all summer for Beaver dam ky.show,had tickets for the Aug 4th show and it was rescheduled for Sept 2nd and now this. I’ve been luck to see them twice this year. I guess I can’t be greedy. I thought about boycotting the band,but I just love this band please get it together boys. IM GOING THRU WITHDRAWALS HERE
August 31, 2018 @ 7:32 am
At this point they should probably just change the name of Medicine Stone to Kidney Stone.

I’m here all week. Remember to tip your internet trolls and Shelfani fans!!
September 1, 2018 @ 11:12 pm
Yes. And all of Staci ‘s friends and family members. Because believe it or not there are many of us who were upset for her. And. There were women who experienced the same thing she went through who offered support. They aren’t trolls. And I know Trig loves to blame everything on Shefanis (decline of democracy. Climate control) there weren’t that many. Some East fans this time. Oh and right now Miranda fans are gleefully posting about rehab and her People article. Nice of her to throw him under the bus. I hope Evan gets help regardless of what’s going on. We knew this wasn’t going to end well.
August 31, 2018 @ 7:38 am
I’m sure Trigger is pleased you put the site right behind the bible.
Believing in the bible is not your problem.
Thumping it in relation to this story is.
August 31, 2018 @ 11:19 am
If the turnpike troubadours never play live again, or even record another note, I’ll still be eternally thankful to them for their show a couple of yrs ago, where they followed a hair-band sounding set by Dan + Shay, and took the awful taste of the D + S show out of my mouth.
August 31, 2018 @ 12:24 pm
I was going to be so pissed if they weren’t performing at medicine stone. I am driving 10 hours to be there..
August 31, 2018 @ 12:51 pm
Sorry, but if you look a little further Evan’s ex wife is a real piece of work..Showing phone records, making unproven allegations, and throwing a pity party for herself..Trying to wreck two careers, but oh, she’s ‘pretty’, so none of that matters..Her ‘friend’ a vulgar, weight challenged woman, posted that Staci had ‘wanted a divorce for months’,,This was not the first time Evan ghosted her, according to Staci, plus, it appears the man may have a drinking problem…Wow,..what a catch!
Look, this is a soap opera, who here is perfect ?Now it would seem that the man is ill,
Wish him well, and put the Bible away….
Some people have romanticized being with entertainers and don’t realize that many of them live in a parallel universe, and they’re not going to be around to share the nightly pot roast,
Thank goodness for that, or who would we listen to?
August 31, 2018 @ 2:17 pm
Staci did nothing about their careers. Miranda can’t destroy her career for having an affair (not dating) with a married man because this isn’t her first rodeo since that is how she started her career with Blake. When your man cheats on you after 18 months of marriage lets see how you feel. As for Evan he made his choice for fame over marriage vows. Unfortunately not only did he have to suffer but so do TT and Staci. Miranda won’t suffer because she has no morals and will write songs to the detriment of Evan and Staci.
August 31, 2018 @ 3:21 pm
I ‘liked’ your reply to my commment because it made sense. Am not a lawyer, but my husband is, and this is not a pretty picture for anyone. Staci also wanted Evan’s house which is ridiculous after less than two years of marriage and no kids. She also got a cash settlement. She is an accountant, and didn’t just fall off the turnip truck…Of course I feel sorry for everyone, but there is more here than meets the eye,,,Sorry, I am old school, and am horrified at this public airing of dirty laundry. Evan should not have hidden from her, it doesn’t speak well of him…or it speaks volumes about her.,depending on your point of view,,.I also have no opinion on Miranda’s ‘morals’..Who knows what she was told by Evan? Husbands can’t be ‘stolen’ they usually go willingly.
August 31, 2018 @ 3:27 pm
“Sorry, I am old school, and am horrified at this public airing of dirty laundry.”
Really? Then maybe you shouldn’t be commenting on it and weighing in with your holier- than- thou platitudes on a public website comment board.
You’re not helping.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:01 pm
How dare yoiu minimize Staci’s heartache. I would love to see you as a working-class woman watch her husband be with a superstar every day on TV and media it’s pretty apparent she loved her husband. just because I said Miranda is the work of the devil (I meant that cynically) doesn’t mean any of this Bible stit should be plastered here. To be honest I never heard of the TT until Mirandas scandal so they can’t be one hell of a hot Band After Five albums and I never heard of them but a song or two. But I do agree with everybody on here that Evan chose Fame and Fortune over a loving wife and now he has to pay the price. But I do Wonder Why by Trisha Yearwood didn’t get so bashed she ain’t no damn better! Whoever called Stacy an attention needing…husband Basher… is out of their mind! look at the what the f*** he did to that woman!!!
September 1, 2018 @ 7:02 am
“To be honest I never heard of the TT until Miranda’s scandal so they can’t be one hell of a hot band after five albums and I never heard of them but a song or two.”
Well then it’s settled. Because you, random anonymous internet commenter, hadn’t heard of Turnpike, they just can’t possibly be that good. Or perhaps you just don’t really have great taste in music and that’s why you’d never heard of them?
(For the record I think they ARE one hell of a hot band and I hope that they are able to come out of whatever it is that they’re dealing with with the knowledge that a lot of their fans recognize and appreciate their humanity and are pulling for them.)

I will not speculate about things that are none of my beeswax (at least not here). But I will say that I am 61 years old and I remember the pain of passing a kidney stone at 19 more vividly than I remember childbirth 5 years later.

I don’t disagree, although no one who knows me would call me ‘holier than thou’, I am a sinner like anyone else, in the eyes of the faithful…I recall when Tigger posted that he had received a tweet from Staci, she tweeted Blake with a “we should talk” message. This type of thing is the equivalent of what used to be called ‘press releases’…
Since her husband ghosted her and didn’t have the cojones to explain himself, she was assuming a lot. The fact she believed Evan had hooked up with a very wealthy woman plays into this somewhere too. Imo, there are no innocents here, just different degrees of self interest.
Remind me to share my memories of managing a rock band in my early career…on second thought,never mind..

This band should be soaring..
Jut when you think they are going to get momentum and break through, something always comes up with them (Evan).
Like a freaking soap opera now.
Kinda a turn off.

I hope he’s able to get proper medical treatment. Many musicians lack health insurance and the financial means to cover costly procedures and treatments out of pocket. A scary position to be in during a medical emergency.

He should have thought of that before cheating on his wife and filing for divorce 15 days after starting an affair with her rule maker. I am sure they had great insurance because she has a great career.

You’re a real piece of work, aren’t you?
August 31, 2018 @ 2:44 pm
This comment section is a gold mine. That being said, I wish the band the best and it grows old seeing “fans” so quick to throw Evan under the bus. He’s a normal man like the rest of us, but imagine what kind of awful dirty laundry we could all air if we were in the spotlight. Let the band get their peace.

Hey @ScottG
I don’t want to sound like I am better than anyone when I quote from the Bible, I just don’t want anyone to go to Hell. I really don’t. My prayer is that everyone will make it Heaven and you as well. I’ve got your name so I will start praying for you when I pray for my family and friends. God bless you and all who are here.
The shortest, and simplest prayer in the bible, it was said by Peter:
Matthew 14:30
‘..LORD, save me.’
August 31, 2018 @ 7:28 pm
Noone is going to ‘hell”.
August 31, 2018 @ 9:25 pm
I’ve been to Hell. They’ve got a nice gift shop.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:13 pm
If I’m not a dick, but your god will throw me in hell because I didn’t sing songs and kiss his ass-is that a god worth singing songs to and kissing ass? My options are:
1) when I die, nothing happens, just gone.
2) I die, your god says, “well, he wasn’t a dick, let him in the good place!”
3) I die, wasn’t a dick, your god says, “he didn’t kiss my ass, burn him!!”
I’d rather burn than kiss the ass of an asshole. 3 options above, as long as I’m not a dick, I’m happy.

Ok… but why don’t you answer sbach66’s question above about slavery and the treatment of women in the bible, since you take it literally and all or none and as you say it’s not right to pick and chose the parts you like. I’ve been waiting to hear that answer.

Folks, we’re never going to solve eternal religious debates in this comments section. This whole comments section has already gotten way out of hand,. I’d appreciate if folks would respect this site and keep comments on the specific topic of Turnpike Troubadours canceling shows henceforth, not what people are assuming are the reasons, especially if it’s going to veer into Bible quotes and theological discussions. Thank you.
September 1, 2018 @ 7:22 am
Fair enough, might be nice though if you replied to the person actually clogging up half the comments section with scripture…

I have to speak up at all of the garbage being spat out. First of all I love Christ. I also love this site and feel like all of us on here are like a family. A family of lovers of great music. The hatred going both ways is in no way being Christlike. Also throwing all of those verses at this situation is not showing the love of Christ. We live in the period of grace. Part of grace is not throwing stones especially not knowing the real situation. Instead of throwing out verses about adultery maybe some prayers for Evan would be much better. I am sure everyone on here is aware adultery is wrong. Throwing condemning verses out doesn’t due anything except lead to conflict. I love all of my fellow brothers and sisters on this site. Trigger I am so thankful for all you do. Why don’t we just try to keep the personal attacks to other sites. By the way college football is here. Roll Tide!!!
August 31, 2018 @ 9:41 pm
Amen.
September 1, 2018 @ 7:09 am
I can appreciate that, well said.
August 31, 2018 @ 10:07 pm
Let me “mock” Miranda Lambert… “Here kitty kitty kitty kitty”
August 31, 2018 @ 10:10 pm
As she snags the Kitty’s treat as it forces the kitty to draw it’s claws to get the goodies.
August 31, 2018 @ 11:32 pm
Poor Kitty.
August 31, 2018 @ 11:33 pm
No dinner tonight.
September 1, 2018 @ 6:34 am
Prayers for Evan. I wish him a speedy recovery..
September 2, 2018 @ 10:16 pm
Show tonight a Beaver Dam, Ky was perfect.
September 3, 2018 @ 6:17 am
Wait, so the sky isn’t falling?
Good to hear though.
September 9, 2018 @ 2:50 pm
So when is TT’s next show?
September 9, 2018 @ 3:01 pm
Medicine Stone. September 21st.
September 10, 2018 @ 4:37 am
Awesome! Thanks.

Is country music always supposed to be sad? Miranda Lambert thinks so. At her recent concert, she said “if you don’t like sad music, then you may as well leave.” WOW! Fans already paid the SAD adulterer! Opinionated yes I am! I miss her music very much! I miss listening to her voice…Oh, her beautiful voice…but I can’t get past her true colors. THATS SAD! Miranda’s comment to her audience was that she feels like she just went through three years of therapy!!!! For what destroying other people and their careers and marriages? I would need therapy too!! Miranda needs to take “Dialectical Behavioral Therapy classes at a mental health facility!! and then instead of going to her mommy and daddy for forgiveness she needs to go to the priest for forgiveness. When she writes a song about that… I’ll listen to her music again! She should sing the song “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” by Linda Ronstadt!
