photo of TomI don’t consider myself much of a writer and if it’s not a three chord song, you can count on the fact that I can’t play it on the guitar. I blog because I love music and while I may never be a musician, I’ll keep strumming until someone besides myself thinks it is good (a long time).

Twangville was born out of the desire to share playlists with friends. We truly love music and the artists and bands we cover. Hopefully, you are here because you have similar interests or taste. If not, thanks for visiting and we encourage you to leave a comment or at minimum buy some music from some of our favorites.

In the meantime, here’s a little more about the genesis of Twangville and if you would like to learn more about me, catch me on Facebook.
