Turnpike Troubadours appeared this past weekend on CBS Mornings’ “Saturday Sessions” in support of their widely acclaimed new album, The Price of Admission. The band delivered a powerful three-song performance featuring album standouts “Heaven Passing Through,” “Nothing You Can Do,” and “On the Red River.” In conversation with Anthony Mason, lead singer Evan Felker also spoke about the band’s origins, their creative process, and the passion that continues to drive Turnpike Troubadours’ unique sound. Watch the interview HERE.
Released earlier this spring via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers (stream here; pre-order CD/vinyl here), The Price of Admission continues to receive widespread critical acclaim. Rolling Stone praises, “With Red Dirt as a genre enjoying its greatest popularity…The Price of Admission serves as a reminder that Turnpike is still the genre’s torchbearer,” while Whiskey Riff declares, “Turnpike Troubadours have continued to prove time and time again that they are the greatest band of all time.”
The record debuted at #1 on the iTunes all-genre and country charts, #3 on the U.S. Albums Spotify chart, and #9 on the Global Album Spotify chart—the band’s highest Spotify debuts to date. It also reached #1 on the Billboard Digital Albums and Current Digital Album Sales charts; #13 on the Billboard Americana/Folk Albums chart; #22 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart; and #28 on the Top Country Albums chart, and it has garnered over 13.3 million streams across platforms to date.
One of America’s most beloved bands, Turnpike Troubadours will continue to tour through this fall with their extensive Wild America Tour. Newly confirmed stops include Chicago’s Salt Shed, Kansas City’s Uptown Theater, St. Louis’ The Factory at the District, Asheville’s ExploreAsheville.com Arena, and Washington, D.C.’s The Anthem, among many others. Ahead of the fall shows, the band will tour through this summer, including several dates with Zach Bryan across the U.K., with a stop at London’s BST Hyde Park. They will also join Willie Nelson’s 10th-anniversary Outlaw Music Festival Tour alongside Nelson, Bob Dylan, Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, and The Red Clay Strays, and will headline the final day of the 2025 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix on October 19.
