SWANEE
Arriving in Adelaide from Glasgow in 1961, John Swan was soon earning the respect and friendship of many of Australia's musical legends. He was playing in bands in Adelaide by the age of 14 and took Bon Scott's place in the blues-rock band Fraternity.
John, aka Swanee, has a formidable blues voice that can also do credit to a soul ballad. His no-nonsense personality comes through in his performances and his incredible work ethic has endeared him to many of Australia's finest players. He is known as a musician's musician.
After years as a pub-rock road warrior, he launched his own band (also known as Swanee) and in 1980 released a debut album 'Into The Night'. A series of hit singles followed, including 'Matthew', 'Lady What's Your Name' and 'If I Were A Carpenter'. In 1987 he joined the Party Boys and enjoyed a #1 hit with 'He's Gonna Step On You' and a multi-platinum, self-titled album.
See Swanee backed by an all star band this January at The Bridge.
