Artist History SWEL-J began when Dan and Scott became friends and found they both had a love of music and playing the guitar. Starting very informally, sitting around "jamming" at first, they were encouraged by friends and family to take their music to the next level. Through time, others joined the group, but have since gone their own way. Dan and Scott remains the mainstay of the band. In early 2001, bass guitarist, Mark Dixon, Scott's younger brother, joined the group. By fall of 2001, Tony Najjar, Scott's roommate, joined the group and began adding the needed dimension of drum accompaniment. Swel-J went in the studio August of 2002 and recorded their three song demo CD. They played their first show in September of 2002. They’ve played numerous shows since then and have received an overwhelming crowd response. They have a one-hour set of original music and are looking for an opportunity to open for established bands or any chance to spread the sound of SWEL-J.
