Twangville

Twangville started out in early 2005 as a simple platform for sharing playlists with friends. Before long, we grew into a site dedicated to covering music releases, writing reviews, sharing downloads, and providing useful links. Our main goal is to promote talented musicians who often go unnoticed. While we explore the world of twang, we focus on a range of genres beyond just mainstream country, including Americana, alt-country, indie, rock, folk, and blues—essentially, any music that features a guitar. We have a particular interest in the alternative aspects of alt-country, which we highlight in our coverage.

I guess you could call Austin musicians Taylor Turner and Everett Wren serial band members. Taylor has been in more bands than he can remember; 15 during his college years alone. In addition to his solo projects, Wren has played with the Arkansas Youth Orchestra and formed groups Wagon, Lost & Nameless, and Chalkboard Poets. After a call from fellow musician Sol Chase to work a bluegrass gig with David Rabinowicz and him, the event so energized the 4 of them they started Big Love Car Wash.

Caitlin Cannon on Her Dolly Parton License Plate and Transcendental Rehearsal Space Moments

Photo credit: Stacie Huckeba I drive a 2013 Toyota Rav 4 with a Dolly Parton License plate. It had 40K miles on it when I bought it a few years ago, now it has 190k. I think we can get around the sun a few more times. Ha, intermittent fasting?! Chipotle is great for healthier options on the road, Chik-fil-A is the guilty pleasure, and Starbucks is the emotional staple. I have the app, and it helps justify the lattes when the points add up.

Monday Morning Video - Mike Peters (1959 - 2025)

1 week ago | twangville.com | Mayer Danzig

There are numerous songs about having a rock and roll heart. Mike Peters didn’t need to write one – his rock and roll heart infused every song that he wrote. Peters passed away last week after a 30 – yes 30 – year battle with cancer. If that doesn’t speak to the strength of Peter’s spirit, I don’t know what does. Peters launched his musical career in the 80s as co-founder of Welsh rock band The Alarm.
