As well as being a longtime local filmmaker, Thad Povey is a founding member of San Francisco’s alt-jug band The Goat Family. (If alt-jug isn’t a thing, it should be). Beloved for their raucous shows, caterwauling vocals, homemade instruments, and witty original songwriting, the Goats have been playing around the West Coast since 2004.

A Twangled Web takes the Goat Family’s affinity for Americana music and adds in a love of showtunes, bombastic rock arrangements, bossa nova, and electric guitar twang.
