Ben Calvert & The Swifts
Ben Calvert & The Swifts’ psychedelic circus alt-folk first saw the light of day in front of a few hundred avid ears and eyes when they opened the main stage of Moseley Folk Festival for The Divine Comedy in the early Autumn sun last September.
Since then they’ve recorded an album’s worth of songs, and released the single ‘Everybody Loves Lucy’ on Bohemian Jukebox. (Available at itunes.com/bencalvert)
The Swifts are: Hannah Lawson (Violin), Dave McCabe (Guitar, Bass) and
Carlo Solazzo (Drums, Stylophone, Gumball Machine).
They have played a sell-out show as support to The Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel Band, and opened for Erland & The Carnival, Hannah Peel, and Admiral Fallow, as well as playing a 90 minute set to a packed out Birmingham Symphony Hall.
Ben’s latest solo album ‘The Broken Family DaySaver’ was released in 2008 on Bearos Records to unanimous praise.
