You can call it Americana, alt. country, country, folk, rock or just music , we don´t care. We play the music we like and we play it from our hearts. We make our own music and we play music written by others. We have known each other for decades, but it is only 3 years ago that we formed TWD and started playing in clubs and bars in the Copenhagen area. All six gentlemen have played on countless records as session musicians and as members in different bands, and are a currently working on songs for a TWD record.
