Ana Egge – Between Us

Wednesday, September 29, 2021 By Shawn Underwood

Over the years I’ve seen Ana Egge perform live a number of times, from house shows to mid-afternoon sets at festivals, to hotel rooms at Folk Alliance. Many times those appearances were with other musicians and I’ve noticed that Ana’s superpower seems to be making other artists sound better than I remembered. Now she’s directed […]

Steve Poltz Wins AMERICANAFEST 2018

Thursday, September 27, 2018 By Todd Mathis

As a newbie to AMERICANAFEST I have to say that looking at the schedule beforehand I was a bit overwhelmed. Throw in the fact that it had been about 10 years since I’d been to Nashville and that made it even more so.  But once I got there and settled into the pace and learned […]

Matt Patershuk – Same As I Ever Have Been

Wednesday, October 25, 2017 By Shawn Underwood

There’s a gritty, dirty style of music that owes much of it’s heritage to the central swath of America, whether it’s the dirt-under-the-fingernails blues from the cotton fields of Mississippi or the the soot-stained rock and roll that came out of the factories in Detroit and Cleveland.  The ranches and oil fields of the plains of western […]

Ana Egge Premiere – Promises To Break

Wednesday, June 08, 2016 By Shawn Underwood

Last year I reviewed Ana Egge’s album, Bright Shadow.  She had a progressive folk sound that owed a lot to her back up band, the Stray Birds.  For her latest effort, Ana has thrown in with Danish indie band, The Sentimentals, to supplement her rich vocal talents. Here at Twangville we’re darned happy to offer […]

Ana Egge – Bright Shadow

Thursday, July 30, 2015 By Shawn Underwood

In New York, Chicago, San Francisco, you can still find dimly lit, low-ceiling basement clubs, surprisingly full even on a weeknight, where you can get a stiff drink and a soberingly good jazz band.  You can’t smoke in them anymore, but that smoky sound still comes from a singer whose voice seems earned from whisky and cigarettes […]
