Rich Swanger

Rich Swanger is an Oregon based singer-songwriter rooted in americana and mystic country music. Born in the Appalachian hills of Pennsylvania, he was surrounded by song from the very beginning. He discovered harmony in the church choir and found an affinity for twang while listening to his fathers band cover a stable of Merle Haggard tunes. All of this led to a wild love for timeless melodies and rock-solid songwriting. His songs have been featured on the television show Shameless. He has played TEDx Portland alongside Rebecca Jordan Smith, whose songs have been recorded by the likes of Prince and John Legend. Swanger has recorded 4 full length albums (2 under the moniker Seahorse), and performs regularly around the Willamette Valley with his group, The Little Known Band.
