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, scattered all over the U.S., donate time, professional services, cash, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to Twangfest. Meet the Gang below.

Grace Woodward	is Music Director and Events Coordinator at KDHX 88.1 FM. And she does lots of other stuff too.
