Newport Folk Fest 2018: New Arrivals

Monday, August 06, 2018 By Jeff McMahon

At Newport Folk Fest 2018, the lineup included both established artists and up-and-coming artists. The up-and-comers were particularly compelling this year. Brand new artists, those coming together as a new band, and those with a totally new sound. This year’s committee did a great job of finding acts coming into their own and all of […]

A Twangville Premiere: Celebrating Father’s Day with Matthew Logan Vasquez

Friday, June 16, 2017 By Mayer Danzig

Monday Morning Video – Matthew Logan Vasquez and Nathaniel Rateliff

Monday, May 08, 2017 By Mayer Danzig

Here’s a fun one to start the week. Matthew Logan Vasquez and Nathaniel Rateliff and friends hanging out singing a song. The song is “Redfish,” from Vasquez’s new album Does What He Wants. It looks like at least a few wine bottles were harmed, or at least emptied, during the making of this video.

SXSW 2016 – The Sounds, Part 3

Thursday, March 31, 2016 By Mayer Danzig

And yet more favorites from SXSW 2016… Matthew Logan Vasquez It may have been just past noon, but the Delta Spirit front-man came to rock. Vasquez prowled around the stage while he and What Made Milwaukee Famous guitarist Michael Kingcaid traded some snarling guitar solos. His set leaned heavily on songs from Solicitor Returns, his […]
