Rich Swanger is an Oregon based singer-songwriter with roots in folk and country-blues music. Born amongst the Appalachian hills of Pennsylvania, he was surrounded by song from the very beginning. He discovered harmony in the church choir and found an affinity for twang listening to his father strum country classics around the house. Swanger has recorded 4 full length albums, and performs his own twist on Americana music regularly around the Willamette Valley with his group, The Little Known Band.
