Twisted Pine

Performing Group

TWISTED PINE Praised by National Public Radio for their "upbeat, poppy vibe; energetic, driving rhythms; and virtuosic solos,” Twisted Pine is releasing their third album from Signature Sounds Recordings (Northampton, MA) in the Summer of 2020, and a sound they call Americana funk. Steeped in traditional music, the players [Kathleen Parks on fiddle, Dan Bui on mandolin, Chris Sartori on bass, Anh Phung on flute] are fearless, tuneful improvisers and passionate lovers of pop. "They were once bluegrass," wrote The Boston Globe, "but ... this Boston band has become something else, a wider version of stringband, boundary jumpers akin to outfits like Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek, and Crooked Still.”  "Papaya" -- single from Summer of 2020 release https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/watch-twisted-pine-papaya/ "Funky Kentucky (Kentucky Waltz) -- from Radio Bristol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QygRy_e-r3E
