Welcome to RadioFolk.dk’s podcast, Folk Live. In this edition of the podcast, we will be featuring the Danish trio Twang, in a concert recorded at the famous Danish Tønder Festival that runs the last weekend of August every year.

Twang sings a mix of covers, traditional stuff and songs that they write them self, often together. The band is Spencer Gross on guitar, double bass and vocals, Thyge van Dassen on violin and vocals, and Peter Banks Johns on banjo, double bas and vocals.

The trio which is Danish but has roots in the US, has four albums out, the latest called ‘Propaganda’, and on their website you can read the following statement: 

’Twang is like a three-legged stool, where each musician is one of the legs. Only with all three legs is Twang Twang. Each member pulls in their own direction, but together, they ensure a unique musical balance. Twang never loses control as a united band, keeping each other grounded and making each other soar’ 

Nov, It’s concert time and the band starts out with Buffalo Radio …. 

Folk Live was brought to you by RadioFolk.dk, Folk Spot Denmark and Tønder Festival, supported by Spot Festival and The Danish Arts Council.
