For four years, Twangfest has presented performers
representing the best of the alt-country genre, including
established artists like Damnations TX, Robbie Fulks, and
the Waco Brothers, along with a wide selection promising
up-and-comers. It has gained a reputation as the
liveliest, most creative, and most entertaining music
festival around. Twangfest 3 headliner (and Sire recording
artist) Dale Watson described it best:
"Twangfest is the future survival of country music...and a
home for us survivalists."
In addition to its St. Louis festival, Twangfest also:
* produces "Edges From The Postcard", an acclaimed
compilation CD featuring some of the best acts in
Americana/alternative country/No Depression music, as well
as many up and coming artists.
* supports efforts to expand music education in schools,
and promote benefits of such programs for young people
