Webley Twizzle Project at Offbeat Roadhouse, Nov 11
Author: WTJU
The Webley Twizzle Project will pull into Offbeat Roadhouse Friday night, November 11, for a concert which will also be broadcast on WTJU. The Webley Twizzle Project is a new instrumental parlor folk trio based in Central Virginia. TWTP plays both modern and traditional music, with enough swing, rags, novelty and original music thrown in to bring a classy and smooth musical experience to any stage or sitting room.
This is a free event, open to all. Masks are strongly encouraged for all attendees. You can also listen to Offbeat Roadhouse on the radio (91.1 FM) or on-line, and even video stream it at WTJU’s Facebook page or YouTube channel. But concerts always sound better with you as part of the studio audience. WTJU is located at 2244 Ivy Rd in Charlottesville, right next door to Vivace. There is plenty of parking, both in our lot as well as the Sentara lot next door.

Tune hunters Bruce Carveth (English concertina), Michael Giordano (guitar and fiddle) and Pete Marshall (octave mandolin) are veterans of central Virginia’s trad music scene. And with extensive experience in music from around the world, The Webley Twizzle Project is a bold effort to take acoustic music, from anywhere at all, and fashion a new sound for a unique blend of musical instruments. It’s the best of Celtic and American traditional music mixed with original pieces, polyethnic dance tunes, and the odd melody from Randy Newman’s film scores, ragtime composer James Scott, 50s crooner Dean Martin or iconic Irish harpist Turlough O’Carolan.
In spring and summer 2022, TWTP completed a program of 7 free pop-up concerts in the downtown corridor of Charlottesville. The tour was a celebration of street music in the public square and was sponsored by 91.1 FM WTJU Charlottesville. Street artists at their core, they continue to meet audiences where they are to raise money for charity whenever time and weather permit.
