Heywood Banks is simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, stoners, businessmen, yuppies, rednecks, punks, kids, and/or your grandmother. He intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted, inventive, bizarre songs, sung and played in a variety of styles - from folk, to country, to rock, to pop, and way beyond. You have to be pretty smart to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy), but you can also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations, expert musicianship and just plain silliness.

Based out of Lansing, Michigan, Dan and Mark of The Swift Brothers duo have a long musical history together. As long time friends, the duo felt like brothers. It was only natural that the new name should reflect that.  And so The Swift Brothers were born. Not long after, their first single "Ordinary" was written. Over the last few years, the group has evolved and hesitantly hangs on to the "acoustic" label. The Swift Brothers have created a unique and full sound that rivals many full sized bands.
