Troubadour Blue

Troubadour Blue makes music that pulls you into the present, back to yourself and closer to your neighbor. Unforgettable three-part harmonies dance with rich acoustic instrumentation, blending Americana, bluegrass and ’90s country with raw storytelling. Founding members and primary writers Daniel Kim Ethridge (guitar/vocals) and Brenna Wheeler (fiddle/vocals) join voices with Max Sadler (bass/vocals), alongside brothers Rico Wallenda (mandolin) and Johnny Therrien (dobro). Their songs find inspiration in the real lives unfolding around them, exploring family lore, love and heartbreak, addiction and recovery through stories of everyday people. In 2026, Troubadour Blue signed with Unlabeled Records as its flagship artist ahead of Tennessee Gothic, featuring collaborators Jerry Douglas, Mickey Raphael and The SteelDrivers. This fall, the band takes the album on the road in support of country icon Wynonna Judd.
