Here's what people have to say...
"...Wayward Sway’s best skills lie in its instrumental solos and highly infectious energy."
Kim Ruehl, West Coast Performer Magazine
"...a great mix of folk, country and rock sounds with some great diverse instrumentation and an infectious energy to the songwriting." -- The Bay Bridged
"Wayward Sway doesn't fit in any genre. It simply makes great music." -- Aiding & Abetting magazine
"revealing experimental folk music woven from elegant layers that continuously reveal skilled and unblemished songwriting at its core." -- Anna Gazdowicz, Treble (treblezine.com)
"Wayward Sway's bluegrass rock is refreshingly authentic, original, and full of life." -- Nate Seltenrich, East Bay Express
"The package is environmentally friendly" -- The Sonoma Valley Sun
Wayward Sway songs range from dark, off-kilter campfire sing alongs, to ballads of unrequited love and stomping tunes inspiring nightlife debauchery. Their music entwines folk, country, rock and traditional influences.
The delicate balance of instrumentation includes acoustic guitars, banjo, mandolin, violin, dobro, bass and an occasional electric guitar. These are all held together with the clunking, pounding and crashing of bottles, pots, pans, washboards, gongs, cymbals and drums, which are collectively known as their junk percussion.
As Wayward Sway continues to play and sing, they can be found residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The lines and the songs of the past have come together in the music of Wayward Sway, and their sound is nothing but their own. Acoustic strings, junk percussion, and a chorus of vocals fill the air, while stories of the dispossessed are spun for your dancing pleasure.
They stomp their feet and sing with their hearts. Sometimes they are out of tune. Sometimes they are out of touch. Still they persist. Let them.
If you are around on the 4th of July you should come out to El Rio. We're throwing a big party with seven bands on two outdoor stages, FREE BBQ, and general debauchery. It starts at 2pm, and it would be sweet to see you all. Tacos don't count as BBQ...
Sorry you had a bit of techno difficulty during the show. I'm sure no one noticed... I hoped you enjoyed the lighting show. I know I had a good time. Looking forward to working with you again in the future!
