Tonight on Torch and Twang, we played a little bit of everything for the enjoyment of all our real cowpokes out there. Indeed, from the Replacements to Muddy Waters to Emmylou Harris there was something for everyone on tonights show. We started things off (after our obligatory Dylan song) with a little bit of a history lesson about the great Link Wray and a few artists that kept that vibe going. As we went on through the show we played a few 70s hits with Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl and Fly Eagle Fly by the Marshal Tucker Band. Later on in the night we mellowed out and listened to a little bit of Neil Young with Harvest Moon while drinking tea Dj Sparrow acquired that had the same name. Then, to end things off we changed the mood up to be a bit more fun to tell the tale of Bird Cowboy by Mummy Joe before heading on out down the trail. Our playlist is attached, we’ll catch you ’round the fire next time.

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.
