Troubadour Blue blends compelling songwriting and musical arrangements, daring you not to

feel something when listening to their melodies. The innovative trio is composed of siblings,

Brenna and Eli Wheeler and Daniel Kim Ethridge. While Brenna and Eli are Nashville natives,

Daniel hails from Austin, TX by way of Long Beach, CA. Daniel and Brenna first collaborated

during their time at Belmont University in Nashville and several years later Eli found his way into

the mix. T ogether, the three transport listeners into the stories of their songs with captivating

three part harmonies and various string instruments.

The idea of Troubadour Blue was sparked during the summer of 2019 when Daniel and Brenna,

who met during their time in the Belmont Bluegrass Ensemble in 2015, found themselves in the

world of Nashville’s “hired guns” and desired a project where they possessed full creative

control. Covid-19 became the world’s reality just as the group emerged from the studio with the

intention of releasing melodies Fall of 2020. Though their timeline seemed perpetually pushed

back, it eventually opened the door for Eli, Brenna’s younger brother, to join the group upon

graduating from Elon University and sequentially rounding out the trio's sound.

Marrying the motifs of modern bluegrass with the poeticism found in Nashville’s songwriting

scene, Troubadour Blue’s focus is on creating songs that tip their hat to classic country writing

while incorporating modern influences. With Daniel on acoustic guitar, Brenna on fiddle, and Eli

on acoustic guitar, the trio’s blended vocals emphasize the importance of harmony while

showcasing their unique voices.

The trio has played to a sold out crowd at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville,

T ennessee. Furthermore, the songwriters have played numerous rounds at The Bluebird Cafe,

Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival, had a song featured on HGTV’s 100 Dream Home, and

toured with The Red Clay Strays as well as Grammy Award Winning band The SteelDrivers.

Due to crowd demand, the trio recorded and released Troubadour Blue Live during the summer

of 2022.

Troubadour Blue released their debut album, Shadow Of A Doubt, in February of 2024, with

Tammy Rogers King of the Grammy-award-winning Bluegrass band, The Steeldrivers, as

producer and Mitch Furr as engineer and mixer.
