Sounds Like: "Every so often out of nowhere comes a talent that cannot be denied. Coming off a 6 week residency at CBGB's Mountjoy Soul Slam, Nick Swan transfixed audiences with his fiery, almost flamenco-like style guitar playing. Swan's blistering energy, and lyrical poignancy are an act not to be missed." - Jimmy Mack, Peoples Records
"Nobody can draw a crowd like Nick Swan." - Seb, 23, Trumbull, CT
"Raw rock vocal energy and fine guitar work are the hallmarks of Nick Swan's performance." - Joe Budnick, President, UMO Music
"A terrific songwriter with a braveness to explore a genre that is largely dying. (His) songs have a warmth and a catchiness that keeps them running through my mind for days." - Jeremy, 24, Knoxville, TN
"Nick Swan showed me how special it is to play music, inspiring me to be a musician. Years later, he still remains a source of inspiration for me." - Renato, 23, Knoxville, TN
"The last night of a five week trip to Urbino (Italy), Nick played a concert for a few of us. It ended up lasting from 10 p.m. to about 6 a.m. He could play anything we requested, and he played it better than the original. I'll never forget hearing Layla played more masterfully than Clapton himself. Been a fan ever since." - Justin, 24, Knoxville, TN
"Nick Swan is the real deal." - Kim, 36, Livermore, CA
