Here's what fans are saying...

"Twang Ditty absolutely made our wedding reception. You guys had it all: classic material, terrific musicianship and infectious energy without a hint of "wedding band" fluff. We got the best of both worlds: a true boot-stomping, honkytonk band that is serious about the music, but also happens to operate with consummate professionalism and attention to detail. It shouldn't come as a surprise to you, having seen the packed dance floor and incredible response from young and old, but literally everyone was raving about you. Even the folks who don't know Buck Owens from Buck Rogers were totally won over and the compliments continue to roll in. We could not be happier. Thank you for an incredible night!" -- C. & E. McConnell, Berkeley

"I happened upon a local band called Twang Ditty at the 4th Street Tavern in San Rafael last week and are they good! Classic country, but contemporary. If you're a Merle Haggard or Buck Owens or Johnny Cash fan, you'll like this band. The singer, Maria Nguyen, was born in Saigon...and has a very pure voice; channeling Patsy Cline. A tight band." -- L.Kahn, Bolinas

"Maria's vocals were so impressive (and if I didn't have the eyes to see her, I would have assumed she grew up in the hills of Appalachia or somewhere. She truly nails the feel fo the old country music!). We were also blown away by Josh's work on lead guitar! At times you would swear there was a pedal steel guitar up there! Great stuff!" -- G. Woodling, Santa Cruz

"She nails it." -- J. Albright (Albright and Malley, Country music radio consultant)

"Your Patsy Cline rendition is fabulous!" -- J. Robb, Sonoma

"At the Black Cat last week you made me cry. Your voice is outstanding and the band is the best. Patsy has been a favorite of mine for many years, and you bring her back." -- G. Latorri, Santa Rosa
