SWING SOUP from Charleston, SC released their first CD to national acclaim in 2002. It continues to sell in a worldwide market. The Academy of Western Artists nominated this band for Album of the Year, Best New Group of the Year, Song of the Year (Cowboy State of Mind), and Best New Male Vocalist and again the following year for Best Group of the Year.
Swing Soup was initially formed in 1998 when a corporate client was looking for a bluegrass band. The members of the popular party band, Sneakers, took the job and put together a great toe tappin' show. Band Leader Ted McKee saw an opportunity to keep moving in a direction completely different from what anyone else was doing. Inspired by some western swing bands, McKee, guitarist and lead vocalist, wrote a collection of songs with western style melodies and colorful lyrics. Ted teamed up with local musician Rodney Stone, and the two arranged the songs with Mills Brothers like harmonies and a little doo-wop flavoring added in. The band features lead vocalist and guitarist, Ted McKee (known locally as “The Dr. John of John’s Island”). The veteran musicians of Swing Soup listed below have played Bluegrass, Jazz, Country, Rock, Cajun and alternative with innumerable bands such as local groups Grace, Sin County, Boss Hawg, and Sneakers. At one time or another they have been on the road with Marshall-Tucker, Kansas and BTO to name a few. Together they are a force to be reckoned with.
The bowl of music will bring you back for seconds and that’s just what you’ll get when Swing Soup heads back to the studio for what promises to be the hottest soup yet. "Take songs with colorful lyrics, add two helpings of Western Swing, simmer over precise Doo Wop harmonies, and fiddle marinated in hot sauce and you've got a soup that swings!"
