Twain has been played on NTS in shows including Nick Hakim, featured first on 19 September 2022. Songs played include The Idiot's Maze, The Season and There Is A Vine.

Twain is American indie-folk musician Doc Davidson. The name 'twain' sounds like it might be for a band, but Davidson rather give his solo project a band-type moniker, so he can say things like, "oh, yeah, one time I did a Twain show there" or "hey, you wanna hear some new Twain stuff, maybe". so really it's all a big joke.

Davidson is in some other bands too, that have real people in them other than himself; he does multi-instrumental work (accordion, mandolin, banjo, guitar, dobro, viola, string bass) for The Vision of a Dying World, is one half of the PaddleBoats, plays keyboards and guitar for the currently hibernating Sex Panda, and is a founding member of Wolf Repellant.

Davidson belongs to the Zombies and Pirates Arts Collective. Please have a look: www.zombiesandpirates.com

Twain is also the name of a British act active since 1996. Again, a band name for a solo project, Twain is known for lush, electronic and dark post-punk.
