Wheelhouse Records artist Kristian Bush wrote the original soundtrack to the forthcoming musical, "Troubador." Written by playwright Janece Shaffer, the musical will run on the Alliance Stage in Atlanta from Wednesday, January 18th through Sunday, February 12th. "Troubador" is a romantic comedy about an unlikely group of friends whose unconventional style changes the course of Country music.
"I believe music is supposed to tell a story, but I'd never tried writing it as part of a story before," said Bush. "Janece created characters who seemed so real to me that it was easy to get inside their heads and write their stories into songs, even as I travelled 60 years back in time to find their authentic sound. Now that we have this amazing cast to bring the story and the songs to life, I can't wait to see what this becomes. Even though this was my first journey into understanding the fit between an actor and a role, I definitely understand the fit between a voice and a song...and these voices fit perfectly."
