The Swaps

Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals) have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio. The Swaps build most of their music around Beth’s jaw-dropping vocals and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam. The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of the material on their “SWAPS LIVE” album. Recorded at the Upton Blues Festival in 2024, this is the first recording they have released as a trio. Their new album “Fast Train” is out now.
