    How refreshing is it to hear real music. The kind that draws you in, shakes your hand and whispers, "forget the politics, lets play music!" The kind of music that this industry has been starved of for so long and exactly the kind of music that lives through singer/songwriter: Andrew Swift... With other touring and recording commitments hampering five years of personal song writing, Andrew finally decided to part ways with his long time friends ‘Race The Fray’ before jumping to the stage to capture both our hearts and minds. That he did. With his powerful collaborations of taut, acoustic grooves and dense, melodic hooks, it would have only been fair to top it all off with the rounded hum of an acoustic guitar..... Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for his local acoustic set to gain wider recognition and in his first year of going solo, Andrew found himself supporting classic Australian artists such as The Black Sorrows, Mental As Anything, Mark Seymour, James Reyne, Peter Combe and Dragon. Fans began to steadily relish in his astounding live performances, holding acclaim to such a powerful voice that often echoes through an entire venue unscathed... After the recording and release of his debut E.P ‘Cornered By Shadows’, Andrew felt that to capture the recorded sounds he had created in the studio he would need to enlist the talents of four more musicians to strengthen his already rock-solid set. A second guitar, bass and drums were all thrown in to the mix, with the unconventional addition of a cello bringing much anticipation from his already curious fan base. This new arrangement proved undoubtingly successful and secured him shows alongside some of Australia’s favourites; Evermore, Grinspoon, Diesel, Noiseworks, Thirsty Merc and Angelas Dish..... In August/September of 2008 Andrew completed a 12 date tour over 5 states before having an enforced 2 month break due to illness, once fully recovered Andrew went straight back on the road in early 2009 to complete 2 east coast tours, also finding time to make it back into the studio to start work on his debut album due for release late 2009, ever proving himself to be one of Australia’s hardest working independent artists.....
