The Twangfest volunteer board of directors, also known as the Twang Gang, meet several times annually, face-to-face and via the Internet, to put together all that is Twangfest, from soliciting bands, to organizing and publicizing every aspect of the annual Twangfest event in St. Louis. The Twang Gang donate time, professional services, cash, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to Twangfest. Meet the Gang below.
