Barnstar! shows us their FURIOUS KINDNESS!
Raucous! Foot-stomping! Joyful! I mean… C’mon! These are some of the first words that come to mind to describe Barnstar!’s new record, “Furious Kindness.” The bluegrass supergroup consists of Mark Erelli, Zachariah Hickman, Jake Armerding, Taylor Armerding, and Charlie Rose. Their last album came out in 2016 and this one has been worth the wait. […]
Ryan Adams: Sword & Stone
On January 1st, Ryan Adams dropped FIVE new albums and became the MVP of 2024. Yes, you read that correctly. FIVE. NEW. ALBUMS. I’ve been taking my time digesting each of them and am going to start with Sword & Stone here. As a self-proclaimed superfan, getting these records as a New Year’s present was pretty […]

Photos that ROCK! Newport Folk Festival 2021: GIRL POWER!
The Newport Folk Festival made its triumphant return over 6 days in July at good old Fort Adams. Titled “Folk On!”, it was split into two 3 day segments and Twangville was lucky enough to cover it for the 5th time. While it felt smaller and more subdued, it also felt more intimate and safe […]
Ryan Adams: Dreaming in Big Colors
Emerging from the depths of the 2019 #MeToo scandal, Ryan Adams is back and ready to rock. While his most recent record, “Wednesdays,” was a lesson in acoustic soul-baring, “Big Colors” goes in a completely different direction with it’s 80s rock vibes. I’ve had it on repeat for the past 4 days straight (this is […]
Feels like Josh Ritter Gave me a Mansion!
Upbeat Josh Ritter is my favorite Josh Ritter. Give me songs like “Right Moves”, “Snow is Gone”, and “Young Moses” any day. Your head will start bopping and you’ll find yourself smiling without knowing why. His new EP “See Here, I Have Built You a Mansion” is a gift to all of us trying to […]
