Garret Swayne

Garret Swayne has become an eminent figure in the Los Angeles folk music scene in recent years. As creator and host of the Mainstreet Songwriters Showcase, he has been a driving force in the emergence of a real songwriter “community” in LA, bringing deserving writer/performers to public attention. But he is also widely recognized as a master song craftsman himself and an extraordinary folk artist—a Troubadour for the Digital Age. His songs and stories reveal a profound intellect, but at the same time, they resonate with a full palette of deep emotionality. The end result is immensely appealing—songs that cover the wide gamut of human experience, from deeply wrought ballads of inner revelation; to hilarious satires of popular culture; to whimsical tales of love and redemption. If there's any common theme, you might say it's about Connection--finding the tones, touching the chords that make us all feel connected to one another. A compelling lyricist and an elegant tunesmith, you usually leave a Garret Swayne show with his songs pleasantly embedded in your brain!
