Twice a year we gather in a Dallas backyard on a Sunday afternoon to eat, drink and hear a few great songwriters up close. If you’ve been to one of our previous Socials, you know how special they are: magical performances with the vibe of a casual party. On Sunday, October 25th we welcome Jeff […]
Monday Morning Video – de la Cour & Mayfield Show Preview (Boston/NYC)
Two of our favorite albums of 2025 came from Ben de la Cour and Joelton Mayfield, and this month we get to put them on the same stage.

Twangville Presents: Joelton Mayfield and Ben de la Cour
In January 1961, a 19-year-old Bob Dylan made his first New York City appearance at Cafe Wha? on MacDougal Street. That same year, he turned up in Cambridge at Club 47 — now Club Passim — and talked his way onto the stage between another act’s sets. Both rooms are still standing, still booking songwriters. […]
Twangville x Dial Back Sound: Live in Boston & NYC
While not often discussed, the choice of recording studio has a profound impact on a record. Great music rarely comes from sterile, assembly-line spaces—it comes from studios with character and warmth, filled with vintage gear and musical mojo in the walls.
