At Twangville, playlists have always been more than background noise. They’re an extension of the same thing that drives everything we do here: curiosity, community, and a deep love for roots music in all its forms.
Influenced by the expertise of our contributors, the playlists have evolved in tandem with the site. Now, we’re excited to shine a new light on our full playlist ecosystem, all of which is curated by Twangville contributors and updated weekly.
Twangville 360: The Big Picture
At the center of it all is Twangville 360 — our main, ever-evolving Spotify playlist. Each week, Twangville 360 draws from the spirit and selections of all our other playlists, offering a wide-angle view of what’s happening across roots, Americana, alt-country, blues, folk, and beyond.
It’s the front porch of Twangville: familiar voices, new discoveries, and songs that simply belong together. If you only follow one Twangville playlist, this is the one that tells the full story.
