twang club episode 8 - heat wave edition
This episode is a recording of the set I had prepared for the Heat Wave edition of Twang Club that took place July 25th. Unfortunately there were debilitating technical difficulties so nobody got to hear it at the time.
As with most Twang Club gigs I picked a vague theme so I could figure out what to pull. If I don't do that it can be a little overwhelming. In this case I started with songs about summer and related things then expanded to heat and fire.
The songs will play straight through with only the FCC mandated station break. In that spirit I won't be including any comments but feel free to reach out if you have any questions about any of the songs or just comment on the page. Some of them might make a repeat appearance in future episodes.
If you have a venue or event or whatever within a few hours of Western Mass or further away and want to pay me enough to get a hotel or have a place for me to crash after a show and want to book a Twang Club appearance place get in touch.
