Artist description Crawing from a variety of influnces & styles, Mac Swanky create an undeniably original sound somewhere between 'funky R&B alternajazz' & 'bluesy hip-hop beat rock.' With crafty lyrics & a unique guitar approach, Scott McChane leads this creative trio backed by an innovative & rock solid rhythm section. The group's rapidly growing fan base can be attributed to their tireless touring, explosive live performances & great songwriting. Their debut album 'Slingshot' has already sold over 5000 copies & the guys are writing new material to record early next year for a new album. Catch them on tour in a city or town near you.

Press Reviews "Something entirely unique, an acid jazz popexperience with white guy hip hop hooks, flooringharmonies & low-riding minimalism delivered withbarroom chutzpah" - BAM"A compelling blend of styles-equal parts funky alternajazz-hop & white-hot blues rap with an explosive pinch of hickabilly flavoring added for volatile measure." - Sacramento Bee"Blending a variety of musical influences to craete it's own singular sound, the members of Mac Swanky-like Beck, Cake & Soul Coughing before them-generate inarguably cool music with the sounds of loungey jazz, blues, rock, pop, R&B & hip-hop." - Sacramento News & Review"The Swanky 3 reside somewhere near G Love & Special Sauce territory. Their lyrics have the eclectic, bohemian air of the Violent Femmes, so don't be expecting acid-jazz; instead open your mind to songs about laundromats & southern psychos with BB guns, & you'll have a good time." - Willamette Weekly
