   About The Skinny
The Skinny is a knee-slapping, tear-jerking, foot-stomping crowd playing not-so-traditional folk and bluegrass sounds, and loving every minute. These pickers combine sweet harmonies with dobro, banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, accordion, ukelele and a rockin bass line, pulling you in 'til you wanna pick up anything that makes noise and play along too.

I love the Twang Cafe, last night was splendid. And thanks for making your songs here downloadable.

I will be at the Plough Tuesday, premiering some I.W.W. labor songs with a fiddler/singing friend.

Indeed, cheers.

April 6
TWANG CAFE (every 1st Sunday)
w/
Trainwreck Riders - rare acoustic set!
Kemo Sabe - bad-ass, bare-knuckles bluegrass
The Skinny - happy B-Day Tanya!
@Epic Arts

TWANG CAFE:
Good-bye Tom Wegner, you will be missed!
Tom created an amazing Americana show. The Twang Café is a unique and
fresh show. It's a great place to discover new bands and to see some hot
local favorites. Epic Arts is a very intimate and homey space - think
"house concert" with beer, wine and snacks. It's all volunteer run!
I am proud, honored, and thrilled to take over the Twang Cafe and I will do
my damnedest to keep Americana/roots, aka twang, alive-n-kicking each and
every 1st Sunday of the month.

Come on down April 6th for Tom Wegner's big good-bye party and help
celebrate Tayna's (of the Skinny) birthday!
We'll have lots of goodies; drinks, food, snacks, and cake...on top of
Tanya's cake will sit Tom's cake...a double-decker of creamy fun.
