About Me

Toni Swain, originally from Perth, took to the road at 18 to play guitar and saucepans through Eastern Block, Turkey and beyond. Eventually landed in Sydney to initially join rock band Stormy Monday. Toni's own music has foundations in blues and roots, which led her to perform at major blues festivals across Australia (Bridgetown Blues, Thredbo Blues, Bimbadgen Blues, Goulburn Blues, Maldon Folk). Now settled in Nundle, a busy gardening, chook raising and baby rearing schedule mean the gigs are few but well placed! Swaino currently is doing gigs around Tamworth and beyond with drummer Ronnie Rindo, guitarist Leigh Ivin and bassist Adam Bodkins.
