Dave Marquardt

Layout by CoolChaserAfter many years of performing throughout the Midwest in a variety of bands, musical veterans Andrew Jess and Dave Marquardt formed SWT in order to bring together some of the best talent they had the privilege of working with over the years. Possibly creating the best “Chicago Country Band” The diverse musical backgrounds of each of the players allow SWT to deliver a stomping country show or a showcase of a variety of genres. SWT’s members are committed to taking the show wherever the fans are – from the intimate setting of a local town pub to the big stage to anything in between! Don’t let the name fool you…they may call themselves “Straight White Trash” but they truly are a “class act"!
