Indie-Americana duo, Swearingen & Kelli, are gearing up to release a series of stand-alone, genre-crossing 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. ”Their earlier albums, The Marrying Kind and Cold-Hearted Truth, were featured by Gretsch Guitars, Cowboys & Indians Magazine, and NY Country Swag. 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. For AJ and Jayne, home is the road, the stage, and the people they connect with at every show.
