Description

Twangtown Paramours Concert
The Twangtown Paramours are an award-winning husband and wife Soulful Folk duo from Nashville, TN. 

This award-winning husband-and wife team has been delighting audiences across the country with their superbly crafted songs, fine musicianship, top-notch singing, and humorous banter. Audiences can expect a personal and engaging show full of songs alternately groove-oriented, poetic, and funny.

The music of the Twangtown Paramours has been called “Soulful Americana” and “Sophisticated Contemporary Blues.” It is a hybrid of the Nashville, New York, and Austin music scenes. The basis of their musical style originates in the country music capital in which they live, but their rhythms feel like they come from NYC, and their lyrics are often influenced by poetic Texas songwriters. The duo consists of Mike Lewis, a successful Nashville songwriter who sometimes plays upright bass for Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and MaryBeth Zamer, who sang background vocals for the late Eva Cassidy.

The brand new Twangtown Paramours album was released in early January to rave reviews. The last Twangtown Paramours reached #11 on the British independent Blues chart and #18 on the RMR Contemporary Blues chart in the U.S. Two singles from the album have been playing about 84,000 times a week in over 20,000 U.S. store locations. Some of the songs from the album will be showcased acoustically at the Pickens Hall concert in addition to songs from their newest record.

As a duo, the Twangtown Paramours won Wildflower's Michael Terry People's Choice award in Richardson, TX, and in 2016, 2013 and 2011, were finalists in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk contest in Kerrville, TX. The duo performs at many well-known venues across the country and have opened for Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Claire Lynch, amongst others.

The music of the Twangtown Paramours can be heard on Blues, Americana, Folk, and independent Country radio stations world- wide. Their songs and videos can be previewed at www.thetwangtownparamours.com.
