A multi award-winning singer-songwriter, Swift performs a distinctive blend of roots-folk-blues. Swift is well known for his “sophisticated guitar-playing”, “earthy baritone voice” and “textured and truthful” lyrics.
Swift released his third solo recording, The Fortunate Few, earlier this year which he self-produced. The album features acclaimed musicians, Geoff Arsenault, Brian Bourne, Kevin Breit, Scott Marshall, Mike Stevens, and Bill Stevenson and offers ten tracks, including a co-write with renowned Nova Scotia songwriter, Dave Gunning.
As a solo artist, Swift has three award-winning recordings to his credit: 2007’s Into The Dirt, 2010’s Blue Sky Day and a 2011 children’s recording titled, The Wood Buffalo Youth Song Project recorded with Keith Mullins, Steven Bowers and children from 10 schools in Northern Alberta.
Swift has played in support of John Hiatt, Dolly Parton, Bill Frisell and John Mayall and has performed at countless folk and blues festivals throughout Canada, United States and Europe. He also performed shows at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and recently represented Atlantic Canada at the 2013 International Blues Summit in Memphis, TN.
