_______________________________________________________________
For a moment the room is silent, hanging on to a heart-wrenching ballad. Then, in just a few chords the crowd is swept back on their feet again, dancing, smiling and getting lost in the energy emanating from this dynamic band. Kari Spielers voice, rich in tone and powerful in delivery, weaves through her and Adam McHeffeys collaborative songwriting and guitar playing. Shaun Savages creative output on the bass guitar (and often three-part harmony) makes the partnership of story and sound complete. Collectively these artists, known as Swear and Shake, bring an experience to the stagea combination of truthful lyrics; passionate performance, and an easy acoustic narrative.
Ive only seen a few artists bring a room to a hush, only to have their audience hooping and hollering moments later, and these four talented Yankees have joyfully mastered their ability to do so. By the end of the first song, we were out of our seats and upfront. Strangers instantly became neighbors as the entire venue was swept up in the action. The Blue Indian
Perhaps the energy the audience absorbs comes from the long history band members Kari, Adam, and Shaun share. From their early days writing from Brooklyn bedrooms to their current home of Nashville, TN, these artists have grown together personally, professionally and sonically. Their history has inevitably influenced their musical journey, and their performance invites fans to become a part of it.
The powerful presence of Swear and Shake has landed them shows directly supporting a number of notable acts, including The Lumineers, Delta Rae, American Authors, G. Love and Special Sauce, and ZZ Ward.
Swear and Shake will be on the road with a stream of tour dates in 2016. They are currently in production for their second full-length record The Sound of Letting Go, which is now being funded on PledgeMusic.
