The roots of Reckless Daughter were laid in 1997 when Maribeth Swan was introduced to guitarist/keyboardist Scott Whittle. Maribeth and Scott began writing together and were soon performing as an acoustic duo, opening for local acts throughout the Boston area.
In 2000, they recruited bass, electric guitar and drums, and began taking the stage as a full band. With a diverse group of musicians grounded in rock, blues and funk, Reckless Daughter was born.
RD recorded a 4-song EP, 2000's As They Seem, which included a guest appearance by Jim Gambino (The Swinging Steaks) on Hammond B3. The CD received airplay throughout New England, and RD was invited to play several live on-air shows.
Reckless Daughter chose their first appearance at Boston HarborFest to release their second EP, the self-titled Reckless Daughter. Like As They Seem, Reckless Daughter has been extremely well-received, and is in strong rotation on radio stations throughout New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
RD is currently working with acclaimed producer/engineer Kenny Lewis on two new tracks, Everyday and Red Flags. Keep an eye (and an ear) open for both on our MySpace page soon!
Even as we speak, RD is working on all-new material for a CD we'll
release nationally in 2008.
