What was your favorite show of 2016?

My favorite show Twiddle played last year was December 17 at the Capitol Theatre. I always have a great time when we play there because they have amazing production, and that night I felt like the band was so well connected musically.

My favorite show I saw was Phish on December 29 at MSG. HARRY HOOD!

Madaila, lespecial, The Whiskey Dicks, Kitchen Dwellers, Mister F

Any big plans in the works for 2017?

We’re really excited for the second year of our festival Tumble Down. I’m definitely also looking forward to heading back to some of my favorite festivals: Jam Cruise, Jungle Jam, Summer Camp, Frendly Gathering, Bonnaroo, and some other big ones I can’t say right now.
