Twiddlin' Thumbs:
Twiddlin' Thumbs personify the new wave of the Americana revival. Their original songs combine classic rural themes with modern urban sensibility. Their debut album, "Blowin' Smoke", is a simple yet honest reflection of their marriage of lyrics and melody. It is a modest account of their playful style that includes elements of Americana, Folk, Blues and a drop of Bluegrass.
