8pm-12:30am
Armed with a mix of polished, modern country and a high energy live show, Troubadour became one of the Midwest’s top drawing club and festival acts. Although new in name, the members of the group are no strangers to the dancehalls, honky-tonks and beer joints that line the highways across the United States. Having worked together musically since 2005, founding members Romyn Hanks (guitar/vocals) and Rick Schroeder (steel guitar/vocals) enlisted the help of two close friends and former band mates, Rick Runde (bass guitar/vocals) and Kory Werlinger (drums/vocals) to form Troubadour. In July of 2011 after Kory’s retirement from the group, the powerhouse drumming and percussion skills of Jesse Schmidt (drums/percussion/vocals) were added to ring in a new, and exciting era for the band.
With an extensive touring schedule since 2010, Troubadour has since played America’s Premiere Country Music Festival; “We Fest”, and have shared the stage with many national acts throughout the region.

Phil Vaught
2025-10-31 - 2025-11-01
8pm-12:30am
Phil Vaught grew up in Kentucky. The son of a Minister and from a very musical family, he was exposed to music very early in life. He was singing in church as far back as he can remember. At age 11, his parents bought him a drum set, and he began playing at church services and with friends at social functions. Soon after that, his older brothers started teaching him guitar and there was no turning back…
In addition to Gospel, Phil was exposed to many other music genres. From his dad, he picked up on legendary country artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, The Statler Brother’s, and many others. His brothers, eight and ten years his senior, listened to Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Jr., Billy Joel, and Phil picked up something from them all. His mother & sister, both accomplished classical musicians, also exposed Phil to an array of popular artists of current and past eras.
By the time Phil was in high school, he began performing at local and regional clubs as well as charities and benefits. He became a well-established, in demand, respected musician and vocalist. Fresh out of high school, he and the band hit the road and never looked back.
By 2003, Phil was so busy that he had bought a home in Hendersonville, Tennessee. He is known all over the country and abroad, playing over 200 shows a year at major venues here and overseas. Phil has played the stage at the Wildhorse Saloon more than ANY other artist in the history of the venue!
