Turnpike Troubadours: Red Dirt trailblazers

Turnpike Troubadours, formed in Tahlequah, Okla., in 2005, has built a reputation as one of the most influential acts in country rock. With over 2.2 billion streams and more than 1.7 million units sold, the band has sold out venues across the country.

Their latest release, The Price of Admission, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes' all-genre and country charts and earned them their highest Spotify chart positions to date. The album follows their acclaimed 2023 record A Cat in the Rain.

The band includes Evan Felker (vocals, guitar), Kyle Nix (fiddle), Ryan Engleman (electric guitar), RC Edwards (bass), Gabe Pearson (drums) and Hank Early (steel, accordion).

Treaty Oak Revival: Texas roots, raw sound

Hailing from Odessa, Texas, Treaty Oak Revival has carved out a distinct sound by blending Red Dirt, punk and southern rock. Since forming in 2019, the band has drawn attention for its storytelling style and dynamic performances.

The five-piece group features Sam Canty (lead vocals/acoustic guitar), Lance Vanley (rhythm guitar/harmonies), Jeremiah Vanley (lead guitar), Andrew Carey (bass) and Cody Holloway (drums). Their latest single, “Happy Face,” and the album Have a Nice Day are streaming on all major platforms.

Thunder Ridge: Nature meets live music

Thunder Ridge Nature Arena is no ordinary concert venue. Tucked into the Ozarks with panoramic views of Table Rock Lake and the surrounding forest, the arena was developed with the vision of becoming America’s most beautiful outdoor amphitheater.

Bass Pro Shops founder and conservationist Johnny Morris led the project, calling it “a gift to the people and heritage of the Ozarks.” Designed using biomimicry architecture and built to blend into the land, the 18,000-seat arena offers a one-of-a-kind concert experience.

One of its standout features is the 12-story Veteran’s Tower, a luxury box structure rising from the Ozark stone, with VIP suites that provide sweeping views of the stage and nature alike.

Thunder Ridge is operated by ASM Global in partnership with Live Nation, bringing high-profile acts to one of Missouri’s most scenic destinations.
