Gypsy Twang has been making music together since 2009. Members include Sarah Barker Huhn (lead vocals, guitar), Steve Huhn (upright bass), John Williams (lead vocals, guitar, harmonica), and Kurt ‘Frenchie’ Neilsen (mandolin, tenor guitar). Look for John teaching harmonica at the children’s festival!
John and Sarah both write original Okie songs with Gypsy soul for the band. Our set lists showcase our songs while paying homage to our roots. We render tunes from heroes like Woody Guthrie, songs written by friends in the Red Dirt scene, and Classic Country keepsakes.
The Woody Guthrie Festival has been a big part of our lives from the very beginning. Deep respect for Woody and his philosophy combined with a love for campground picking have kept us coming back year after year. Listening to both traditional folk and our fellow musicians’ take on modern times never grows old. It’s a great honor to be granted stage time at this festival we hold so dear. Come hang with the Twang!
