Chris Roberts – Red Feather

Thursday, February 25, 2021 By Shawn Underwood Leave a Comment

Life is unpredictable. That’s maybe the lesson learned from Austin native, now Colorado resident Chris Roberts. Unlike many musicians that throw away other opportunities to make music, Roberts’ success as a hat maker drove him to concentrate more on the music, perhaps as a creative counterbalance to the rigors of being a successful entrepreneur. His […]

Brendan & the Strangest Ways – Are We Sure the Dawn Is Coming?

Wednesday, September 30, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

As documented by everyone from Ken Burns on down, country music came out of the fields of the South and the mountains of Appalachia. Alt-country, on the other hand, has its roots in the urban centers of the Rust Belt, like St. Louis, Chicago, and Pittsburg. Based on the new album from Brendan & the […]

The Avett Brothers – The Third Gleam

Thursday, August 27, 2020 By Chip Frazier

I have loved the “Gleam” series that the Avetts occasionally put out. It is the band in its most simple form. Let’s face it, the Avett Brothers have become more able than anyone in Americana to write Anthemic ballads. As they have grown, their lineup and live shows have also become bigger. They are in […]

Under the Radar: Drayton Farley “Sweet Southern Sadness” Interview

Wednesday, August 12, 2020 By Chip Frazier

One of the things we love to do at Twangville is introduce our readers to artists that are just starting out. These under the radar artists are a big part of why I joined the Twangville posse. This week I was able to sit down and interview Drayton Farley about his new EP “Sweet Southern […]

Nocona – Los Dos

Thursday, July 16, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

They say you should always dance like you think no one is watching. I think the same thing applies to air guitar and drums. Wail and flail. If you want a good soundtrack to do that to, I’d suggest the new album from LA-based roots rockers Nocona. Entitled Los Dos, it has a garage band […]

American Aquarium – Lamentations

Thursday, April 30, 2020 By Chip Frazier

The only good thing about being quarantined from the rest of humanity is seeing some of live via the web shows that so many artists are doing. The ones doing it well are being genuine with their fans. They are sharing personally and bringing a little levity to add some fun to the isolation. BJ […]

Flying Buffaloes Video Premiere – Loaded And Rollin’

Wednesday, February 05, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

At some point, most everyone comes to the realization they should be spending more time doing what they want instead of what others want. The title track from the Flying Buffaloes debut album, Loaded And Rollin’, takes that sentiment and interweaves a musician’s perspective, laid to a rock and roll beat. The band went out […]
