These award-winning, acoustic soul artists have become the vanguard of independent musicians.

Professional performers and writers for over 30 years, Swann and Morykit create beautifully introspective music that leaves their audiences breathless, a news release stated. Their intelligent lyrics and elegant arrangements are performed with virtuosic ability, yet are delivered with an earthy, soulful power and grace.
