Bio
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles south of Miles Davis, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
Music Description
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.

On his latest release "We Can't Party Like We Used To", Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy swingin' and singin' reminds of giants past and present - Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his is a distinctly personal sound that is sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, sometimes quirky....but always fresh and entertaining. "We Can't Party Like We Used To" is a can't-miss collection that hooks you right from the first listen.
