Swift Silver

Songwriters Anna Kline and John Looney are Swift Silver. Their collaboration spans over ten years of exploring the great expanse of the American songbook—touring, conspiring, songwriting—fused together by the Mississippi heat, molded in the mountain air of Western North Carolina, and flung free in the hills of Kentucky bluegrass.

You may have seen John on stage with John R. Miller at Red Rocks or seen Anna on stage harmonizing with The Local Honeys. They regularly collaborate with their friends—recording, writing with, and sharing the stage with their friends in the Kentucky music scene and beyond.

Together they create compelling music of their own as Swift Silver.

Swift Silver’s debut self-titled album hails a new era of Southern rock and soul: the redemptive strains of Southern gospel, the drawling tremolo of rhythm and blues, and the twang of the rural soul.

From the moment the listener presses play to the last track fade, this collection of songs celebrates the tenets of Southern sound. Cultivated in the dim lights of listening rooms and local jams, regional festivals and side street bars, alone in the woodshed and crafted as an ensemble.

“The major draw is the emotive, soaring vocals of Kline, reminiscent of Patty Loveless’ passion, if not her voice, on her indelible Mountain Soul album; Looney cuts loose with stunning guitar work.

Out of seemingly nowhere, we have one of the strongest and most memorable roots albums of the year to date.” — GLIDE MAGAZINE
