Swanson Family

Swanson Family, a blues, country and folk act, plays at The Bread and Roses in Clapham Common, a south London venue for concerts and shows.

Swanson Family performs music in the blues, country and folk traditions. These styles share roots in American vernacular song: blues grew from the work songs and field hollers of the Deep South, country from rural string band music, and folk from songs passed down orally and later collected. The act's blend of these idioms makes it a fit for roots music listeners.

The Bread and Roses hosts concerts and shows in Clapham Common, so the night is a live music outing in south London. It is a fit for anyone who follows blues, country and folk played on stage. Blues, country and folk all put the song and its lyrics at the centre, which makes them a natural pairing for one evening.
