Swamp da who?
SwampDaWamp (prounounced swamp duh wamp), a unique
name for an exciting band with an incomparable sound.
The brain-child of singer-songwriter-guitarist Gig Michaels,
Charlotte, NC's SwampDaWamp is the powerful and creative
collaboration of six talented and seasoned musicians:
Gig Michaels (lead vocals & acoustic guitar); David Lee
(drums); Michael Hough (guitar & vocals); Keith Inman
(guitar); Mike Huffman (keyboards, B3 & vocals); and Cody
Bennett (bass). Upon hearing their name, most people
are immediately curious. It was born accidentally,
while frontman Michaels was scatting at the end of a song.
The name instantly captured the band's high-spirited rock
energy and rootsy vibe, and it stuck.
2007 Marked
the debut of SwampDaWamp with the release of their
self-titled CD (Big Penny Entertainment-Nashville, TN), an
infectious blend of rock and blues with a southern flavor,
all in support of Michaels' powerful, gravelly voice.
It's no wonder music lovers from rock to blues to country
fans...from college age to baby-boomers, love this
feel-good, high-octane music. At once unique and
familiar, a much sought-after but rarely achieved
combination; it has struck a chord with fans all over.
Since its release, "SwampDaWamp" has garnered much critical
acclaim. The CD was selected as one of the TOP 23
ALBUMS of 2007 by Eartaste.com, putting them in the company
of such artists as John Fogerty, Rickie Lee Jones, and Ray
Davies. It also has received rave reviews from the
UK's top music publication, "Blues Matters". In
addition, they continue to received radio airplay throughout
the country on college, mainstream, internet and are a
favorite at XM Satellite Radio.
While almost
instantaneously becoming known for their free-spirited,
sing-and-dance-along live shows, SwampDaWamp has amassed a
huge and rapidly growing fan base. Their music touches
people of all ages and backgrounds, as evidenced by the over
15,000 My Space friends they have spanning the globe from
the U.S. to France to Australia, proving that hte feel-good
SwampDaWamp sound is universally engaging and contagious.
On the heels
of their successful debut CD, this year will bring the

SWAMPDAWAMP 2.0, which is scheduled for Summer 2008.
