Tonight on Torch & Twang we had things covered… get it? But no, we ended up playing a lot of covers tonight, starting with Willie Nelson’s version of Georgia On My Mind. We then went on to listen to a slate of some Appalachian folk, followed by a few wonderful 90s alt songs that we felt were twangy enough for the show. As the night went on we talked about our thoughts on super groups and deconstructed one of our favorites, the Highwaymen (say that again). As the night came to a close, we listened to a bit of early 2000s indie country before walkin off after midnight with Patsy Cline. 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.
