Erik Swartz Biography
After a nearly ten-year hiatus, Erik Swartz is on a new musical journey. The Folly Beach, South Carolina singer-songwriter is taking it solo after spending several years as part of a Colorado-based touring five-piece. Hundreds of shows around the United States and a decade later, Erik is excited about the renewed energy and transition into the singer-songwriter life.
While the primary influence of his time in Colorado came from the jam genre (Grateful Dead, Phish, Blues Traveler, Disco Biscuits, Galactic), the time away from performing opened other genres and formats for Erik, which has led to a vast array of covers spanning nearly nine decades. This renewed appreciation has also sparked a rejuvenated set of old and new original material.
Now that Erik’s gone solo, the live sets dance between more traditional singer-songwriter material and loop station assisted improvisational jams. From traditional songs, well-known and obscure covers, and well crafted original material, Erik has a bit of something to entertain everyone.
