"Folk duo creates beauty out of chaos" - Wide Open Country
"Jayne Kelli is a vocal chameleon and she can adjust her sound a hundred ways to suit the song" - No Depression
"Swearingen and Kelli are two voices made for each other" - Cowboys & Indians Magazine
"beautiful and rare...one that others would do well to emulate down the road." - Redline Roots
Indie-Americana duo, Swearingen & Kelli, are gearing up to release a series of stand-alone singles while hitting the road and preparing to record their next full-length album. Hailing from Lapeer, Michigan songstress Jayne Kelli first crossed paths with Pennsylvania native, Aj Swearingen, over a decade ago at a songwriters club in Florida. After becoming fast friends and bandmates, they eloped in Punta Cana and headed for Nashville, where their music continues to evolve. Last fall’s release, Build Myself Up From the Ground, garnered features on The Bluegrass Situation, Wide Open Country, and Americana Highways, who praised them for sounding "as good as John Prine with Bonnie Raitt on ‘Angel From Montgomery.’”
With siren-like vocals and prolific songwriting, Swearingen & Kelli have carved out their own space in the Americana landscape, earning praise from Red Line Roots as artists “others would do well to emulate.” With a sound steeped in the soul of ‘60s and ‘70s songwriters, they’ve shared the stage with legends like Crystal Gayle, Kenny Rogers, and folk heroes Tom Rush and David Bromberg.
