The Sways

The Sways perform blues, country and folk, and this concert takes place at Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco, a venue that hosts concerts and shows. The standfirst sums up the genres and the setting.

The Sways performs blues, country and folk, three genres that share roots in American vernacular music and a focus on storytelling through song. Blues contributes the melodic and harmonic foundation, country adds narrative song forms, and folk brings an emphasis on acoustic, lyric-driven writing. Together they make up the musical identity of this act.

The concert takes place at Cafe Du Nord, a San Francisco venue that hosts concerts and shows, so the evening belongs to the city's live music calendar. It suits listeners who follow blues, country or folk and want to hear these styles performed live rather than on record.

Anyone curious about how the three genres meet in one act can judge that for themselves at the show.
