Hailing from Pennsylvania, bluegrass artist Troy Engle grew up with a love for bluegrass and country with a clear goal in mind of becoming a musician at the ripe age of ten years old. Engle’s passion for music has made him into the artist and musician many know and love today. Having been involved with the Nashville music scene for many years, Engle has played just about everywhere, including the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., as well as bluegrass and country festivals across North America. He’s performed with incredible artists, including Patty Loveless, Larry Sparks, The Isaacs, and Buddy Jewell. Engle has written award-winning bluegrass hits with Dixie and Tom T. Hall and composed music for popular TV shows “The Voice,” “American Pickers,” “Duck Dynasty,” “Pawn Stars,” and even “SpongeBob SquarePants.” He plays all the stringed instruments and released several albums of his original songs as a bluegrass artist. Engle plays mandolin, fiddle, guitar, pedal steel, and sings harmony vocals in Kentucky Thunder and we are pleased to welcome him to the band.
