Troubadour Band by Troubadour Band
Somehow, we ended up with an album…
There we were in Chiang Mai, Thailand, playing music, enjoying the moments that come, and one night someone said "Why don't we record an album?" And here it is, our little time capsule of a joyous chapter in our lives.
Troubadour is a band... and a pub—the two together in the old style of a family of friends at "home" together, musicians and listeners alike... locals, travelers, anyone who passes by the road. These songs remind us of good times, good company, and many late nights.
We hope you'll find some of that spirit of friendship and joy in the music. And if you're ever passing through Chiang Mai, feel free to drop by the pub for a pint or a whiskey and music in the old style.
This album was recorded and mixed in the "analogue spirit." None of that AI or Autotune silliness, just people playing and singing.
We hope you enjoy!
