MACON, Ga. — A fourth concert is coming to the Macon Amphitheatre in 2024, according to a press release.
Moonhanger Group and Mammoth present Turnpike Troubadours at the Macon Amphitheater April 27, 2024. Show support provided by The Red Clay Strays and Brent Cobb.
Tickets for the show go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster or in person at the Macon Coliseum Box Office on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Tickets start at $39.50 plus fees.
The Turnpike Troubadours are making a comeback. They went on hiatus in 2019.
"After releasing five genre-defining albums and building a fiercely loyal fanbase, Turnpike Troubadours — the Tahlequah, Oklahoma kings of Red Dirt music — all but fell apart in 2019, taking a three-year hiatus to find clarity amidst the noise of a red-hot career. But after the break, something remarkable and even unprecedented happened: the band returned more popular than ever. Not to mention stronger," the release says.
A Cat in the Rain is the groups sixth studio album. It was produced by three-time Grammy winner Shooter Jennings and recorded at the legendary FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and in Los Angeles.
"The 10-song album is a tale of reliability, rebirth, and redemption," the release says.
The band is composed of frontman and chief songwriter Evan Felker, fiddler Kyle Nix, steel player Hank Early, guitarist Ryan Engleman, bassist RC Edwards, and drummer Gabe Pearson.
The release says they’ve racked up 1.5 billion streams globally and are selling out arenas and headlining festivals.
This comes after Macon-native Jason Aldean announced he was bringing his "Highway Desperado" tour to Macon alongside special guests Hailey Whitters, Chase Matthew, Austin Snell & Dee Jay Silver on Saturday. Oct. 5, 2024.
