My name is John Swardson, I'm a singer-songwriter. I play the guitar and write about alot of things, those things usually end up being on the edges of where we live. My band is called Get Gone. I have two records out; Ablaze, my debut, was released in April of 2006 and Silver Dust was just released in June. I write the songs , sing'em and play the guitar. The rest, which is a whole hell of alot, is in the hands of a few crucial people; Chris Coyne plays the bass and co-produces/engineers, Lane 'Magic' Soderberg plays guitar, bass, and sings back-up, Ryan Wheeler is the new drummer for Get Gone, and Eliza Blue plays the violin and sings on Silver Dust.
The band has been on vacation since July but we're gearing up to support Silver Dust properly beginning in March. Things are good and while rehearsing our live set for a big push in the new year, I'm writing for a new record that we'll begin recording sometime next year.
I believe in 2009, October baseball, Bruce Springsteen, and the 4th of July. Thanks for stopping by.
