Their management kept booking shows instead of putting their foot down and addressing the problem. I can’t tell if it’s greed or delusion


My thought is that the guys in the band aint making enough money to not be putting on shows...tried to power through, but just couldn't anymore.

Someone like Jason Isbell who has been through what Felker is going through now needs to take him in and mentor him to get his life back together.

If you're in such bad shape that Miranda Lambert dumps you BEFORE she cheats on you....you're in bad shape.

Hasnt she been dumping salads on people lately? Sounds like they might have been a match.

This is very sad. Praying he pulls off an Isbell and comes out stronger.

I guess the rockstar lifestyle is harder to pull off when you’re writing cheesy red dirt tunes

I've been trying not to comment because I'm close to the situation...these are people I consider friends, and that includes their management. All I want to say about what's going on is that it is supremely unfair for people to blame management for the shitshow that has been brewing for the last year.

Shows are booked well over a year in advance, so it's not like they're booking shows while a member of their family is in a spiral. Just because they announced a show on Tuesday doesnt mean they booked it on Monday. If the band wants the show to go on then, ultimately, it will.

This entire situation makes me sick to my stomach and I understand the anger and frustration from fans, but management ain't the ones with the demons, folks.

TT are great guys who are going through a really hard time. I truly hope this has a happy ending.

Good. Their well being is more important. Hopefully they take the time they need and come back and create more great music.
