A collection of projects done for friends

The “Swell Daze” sound is a crisp three part harmony-driven blend of classic and modern rock. The band maintains pop sensibilities while staying true to their rock and roll roots. On their debut album, the band draws influences from artists across multiple genres and decades. Swell Daze crafts a signature sound with strong lead vocals, melodic lead guitar solos, and a tight and intricate rhythm section. Their live shows are explosively energetic, however the band portrays the cultivated class and distinctive stage presence you would expect from seasoned veterans. Since 2011, the band has been gigging relentlessly in the mid-atlantic region playing festivals, bars, and private and charitable events. Live, the band prefers to play cuts from their debut album, however they also draw from a repertoire consisting of over three hours of classic and modern covers.
