Steven Sware

With a talent for songcraft, a versatility as a vocalist and composer and a natural, easy charm as a performer, Edmonton’s Steven Sware is poised to become a recording artist and pop music stylist of note in the very near future. Although only in his early 20s, Sware is a veteran of nearly a decade on the local music scene, beginning at age 15, grinding his way through various bands and solo incarnations, with this crucible setting the foundation for the artist his has now become. Sware is set to release his latest single, Back to You, the buzz for which has already begun to set the social media-verse alight in the modern incarnation of ‘industry buzz.’ Sware’s ability to convey genuine emotion through his original songs, be they autobiographical or not, carries over into the way he takes cover songs and makes them his own. Even through subtle tweaks to arrangements, he has built a significant following throughout Alberta and beyond for his live performances, including more than 125 ‘Driveway’ concerts he performed from the onset of the global pandemic. For Sware, it is the start of something special, and something that will be as rewarding and fulfilling for him, as it is for all who get to hear his music.
