Tonight on Torch and Twang, DJ Sparrow and I started things off with a great selection of classics with: Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. After that we got into a bit of a summer-y mood, probably due to the recent warm weather that has finally arrived on campus. We talked about how excited we were for the upcoming Paul Simon and Sierra Ferrel concerts (both of which I’ll be out of the country for :/). As we got towards the end of the show, we played some fun instrumental tracks for you all with everything from some classic bluegrass from recently acquired Billy Strings to some traditional Appalachian music with Chinese characteristics with the song August Flower. Tonights playlist is attached, and we hope to catch you ’round the fire next time cowpoke.

About the Contributors
Dante Chinni-Ianzito, Co-Host of The Progressive Torch & Twang
Outside of his show here at Impact, Dante (he/him) stays very busy around campus. He’s a double major in International Relations and Comparative Cultures and Politics with two minors as well. Beyond that, he spends plenty of time doing nerd stuff like model UN and Dungeons and Dragons. With all that going on, he enjoys spending some time relaxing and listening to a bit of old time folk and country when we can. At the moment, his favorite song lyrics are “Down the sand forever/only music is forever” but ask him in a few days again in a few days and he’ll probably have a different answer for you.
Wren Cueter, Co-Host of The Progressive Torch & Twang
Wren (they/them) is a Junior here at MSU studying English and hopes to go into the bigger music industry some day. Ever since they were a little kid they’ve loved music and has now become a major music collector with over 1200 records on cd. Some of their favorite music is folk music and they’ll defend Bob Dylan the day they die. Come listen into the Torch and Twang every Tuesday 8pm-12am to hear them and their co-host ramble on about their favorite folk and country tunes.
