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.

Marie Arsenault
has several years of experience in marketing, promotion, fundraising and event planning. She’s currently a booking agent in St. Louis, MO. She’s also a board member of the Americana Music Association.
Jason Baldwin
is a photographer, a designer and a decent cook. He hates music, but we like his pretty pictures.
Roy Kasten
is a writer, teacher, DJ, semi-professional contrarian
Dale Fisher
is the Twangfest Social Network guru. He is a non-profit music arts marketing slash web developer guy by day and is obsessed by music & tech by night. The lure of the honky-tonk wrecked his young life.
Nico Leone

is Co-Executive Director at KDHX 88.1 FM, Saint Louis Community Radio. He would love to have something clever about him written in this space. But it’s probably not going to happen.
John Wendland
is a musician currently with the St. Louis roots-based act Rough Shop. He works as a purchaser of telecom equipment for CMS Communications. Chicks dig him.
Rick Wood
is an architectural modelmaker in St. Louis. He has produced a couple of local roots-oriented music compilations- “Out Of The Gate”, Vols. 1 & 2. He contributes live music reviews in a column on the Vintage Vinyl website.
