Turnpike Troubadours formed in 2007 around men born in Okemah, Oklahoma, home also to the legendary Woody Guthrie. Evan Felker, the lead singer and chief songwriter, was born there, raised in Wright City and later moved back to Okemah.

"The characters I write about are living in that world I grew up in: a bucolic, dirt-underneath-your-fingernails sort of world. People where I grew up are tough. It’s nice to be able to represent them in art," he said, in a written release.

The band also includes fellow founding member R.C. Edwards on bass, with Kyle Nix on fiddle, Ryan Engleman on steel and electric guitars, Hank Early on steel and accordion, and Gabe Pearson on drums. Turnpike Troubadours has cut five studio albums on its own label, Bossier City Records, with the last three breaking into country, folk, rock and indie charts.

The 2012 "Goodbye Normal Street" went to No. 3 on folk, and 14 on country; 2015's self-titled disc broke the top 10 on all four charts; and the band's most recent, 2017's "A Long Way From Your Heart," went to No. 3 country, and No. 1 on both indie and folk charts.

Turnpike Troubadours went on hiatus in 2019, reportedly due to its leader's alcohol dependency issues. Two years later, the band's Instagram cleaned all previous posts, and the site www.turnpiketroubadours.com read simply "Coming Soon." Later in November of last year, the band announced its reunion, and a new tour, with a show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre kicking it off in May 2022. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Felker announced that he'd found sobriety and was refocused on music.

Earlier this year, Turnpike Troubadours issued a limited-edition rerelease of its 2010 album "Diamonds and Gasoline," while the band is said to be working on recording new material.

Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton, the duo comprising Muscadine Bloodline, grew up in Mobile, meeting in 2012 when the latter opened a show for the former's band at Soul Kitchen. They formed as Muscadine Bloodline in 2015, and have cut two charting EPs, toured around the country opening for hundreds of artists, and debuted at the Grand Ole Opry in 2018. Their latest single is "Me on You." For more, see www.muscadinebloodline.com.

The band has played Tuscaloosa a number of times, at Druid City Music Hall.

Them Dirty Roses, another Alabama-born group, features brothers James Ford on guitar and vocals, Frank Ford on drums and fellow Gadsden friends Andrew Davis on guitar, and Ben Crain on bass. The rock 'n' roll quartet has played through Tuscaloosa before, at The Booth, Harry's and Rhythm & Brews. For more, see www.themdirtyroses.com.
