Jazz-steeped, folk-funk-punk-world stylings and nine recordings (plus one DVD) under her belt on her own independent label, Ember Swift and her trio form a style-merging sonic landscape of bold activist messages, elastic vocal melodies and multi-instrumentalist talent.
Featuring bassist and violinist Lyndell Montgomery (www.lyndellmontgomery.com ) and a rotation of drummers (primarily Adam Bowman or Cheryl Reid), this band weaves insightful political musings and humour with eccentric arrangements and steady groove.
They make you dance, they make you think and they make you laugh all at once! They love to make music and it's evident in their joy on stage; sheer fun is as important an ingredient in an Ember Swift show as Ember's extraordinary voice and unblinking lyrics. Not to mention Lyndell, of course, whose musical wizardry charms audiences into submission.
