The Swanson Family
An up and coming band from Florida with a hard driving bluegrass sound, The Swanson Family is Rick Swanson on bass and his wife
Lynn Swanson on guitar, featuring their sons Eric, 19, on mandolin; Tyler, 15, on banjo, and Travis, 12, on fiddle.  They feature
traditional bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and instrumentals.  Their musical style has influences from the classic bluegrass era, all the
way to the progressive genre, appealing to audiences of all ages. They have played a number of engagements across the central and
north Florida region, including the Spirit of Bluegrass Music Fest in Live Oak, and the "Country Rocks the Canyon" annual event in
Crystal River.  The Swanson Family loves playing bluegrass together and wants to share their love of the music with you. Come and
