Thom Swift

With his well-traveled guitars, rich and soulful voice, insightful writing and casual wit, Thom Swift warms audiences everywhere he performs.

Swift is a member of the 2007 Canadian Maple Blues Award-winning and East Coast Music Award-winning trio Hot Toddy. With six albums to their credit and a career that spans over 12 years, the group is a regular on festival scenes. They have played the prestigious Newport Folk Festival in the United States, the Blue Balls Festival in Switzerland, the Vienna Jazz Festival in Austria, along with many Canadian jazz, blues and folk festivals.

As a solo artist, Thom draws inspiration from finger-style master Mississippi John Hurt, the essential song writing of Tom Waits and Emmy Lou Harris, the melodies of jazz great Charlie Haden, and his father’s operatic voice. Swift delivers a distinctive blend of folk, blues, country and rag style and is sure to engage all who listen.

Don’t miss Swift this fall and winter as he takes his solo CD, Into the Dirt, on the road, performing a series of intimate concerts throughout the East Coast and Canada.
