Sarah Swain

About Me

Has been playing guitar since her mother got her a fender acoustic for her 15th birthday. Started writing songs about boys shortly thereafter. Has annoyed people with singing for a very long time. Traveled all over the US and UK playing solo acoustic shows over the past 15 years. Played bass and sang in Professor Gascan, The Spike Emerson Society and VEIN. CURRENTLY - lives on dreamy cape cod with dreamy steel sculptor husband and two dreamy girls (Lucy 3 and Jessie 1) AND plays in acoustic duo with Jerry Smith and with rockin cape band The Greenheads (and once in a while gets the Sarah Swain Band together to play). Loves her chickens and growing her own food. Hates overpackaged goods and bell peppers.
