The Oaks Hotel – Andrew Swift

Event Details

A loveable bard of the road, a soulful troubadour, a heavily tattooed mountain of a man with a penchant for touring in tiny caravans – Andrew Swift is many things.

Embraced whole-heartedly by Australia’s country music scene, Swift’s musical background speaks to an unexpectedly diverse journey. A shuffle played, genre defying, jukebox of wild assortment – Swift’s creative resume covers not only country sub-genre staples such as Americana and bluegrass; but also power-pop, punk-rock and indie. A far cry from the fully formed, self assured sweetheart of Tamworth we know and love today. And yet, once aware of this smorgasbord of creative influence, it’s hard for the listener to unhear the coming together of unbridled grit and pop sensibilities punching through the soaring melodies and proficient song craft.
