On Saturday, June 11, the final night of Twangfest 20, the Waco Brothers will take the stage at Off Broadway. We are thrilled to have them back!
The band has a new album on Bloodshot Records, and they’ve graciously allowed us to premiere this brand new video. Here’s Jon Langford on the new song “Going Down in History”: “This song was written before the current election campaign but describes how current political elites, establishment and institutions are on the brink of collapse but what will replace them might not be what we want or expect… It’s a double entendre!”
The Wacos will also be playing an EXCLUSIVE house concert on Saturday, June 11 in the afternoon. Want to go? Get your Friends of Twangfest pack now!
