Strung-Out Troubadours is the musical duo of Rik Emmett (of Canadian rock band Triumph) and Dave Dunlop. Emmett and Dunlop have played together since they met while both teaching at the National Summer Guitar Workshop[1] in 1990. They have released two albums and regularly perform live shows together. Most of the songs are performed on acoustic guitars without vocals, with Emmett singing lead vocal on some selections.

In 2007, Strung-Out Troubadours won "Album of the Year" and "Group/Duo of the Year" at the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards[2] where they were the most heavily nominated act. Both Emmett and Dunlop were also nominated for "Best Guitarist".

The third album, titled Push & Pull was released in May 2009.
