Tonight on Torch & Twang, DJ Sparrow and I kept things slow and mellow, for the most part at least. We started things off with Mama, You’ve Been on My Mind by Bob Dylan and talking about his new… uh… writing project. As we moved later into the night DJ Sparrow talked to us about their growing appreciation for classic country tunes, from the Carter family to Jimmie Rogers. Nevertheless, as the night went on, we revealed our real favorite artist: 14th century Flemish painter Bruegel the Elder. We ended the night with a collection of some of our favorite alt-americana tunes before welcoming in spring with a fitting song by Simon and Garfunkel. 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.
