And NYC sends out the emergency alert about the earthquake now. About 40 minutes later. LOL

My song "Mewtwo" from an outdoor live looping performance at Duane Park in Tribeca last year. It's a song about living together with my band years ago. You can find the official recorded version here: hyperfollow.com/grantswift/tra… #nycOneManBand #livelooping #transformation

Fun at a private event at Jolene Sound Room with a reggaeified version of "Baby, I Love Your Way" - Peter Frampton, by way of Big Mountain. The song you hear was made from scratch with #livelooping - no backing tracks. #nycOneManBand #livelooping #reggae

I asked the folks over at Arizona Plasma Productions to make me a hinged metal sign for my #nycOneManBand setup and progress is looking EXCELLENT! #metalwork #fabrication #metalsign #giggingmusician #livelooping #swift #grantswift

Such a fun song and such a great chord progression! The guys from Squeeze are some great songwriters and I had lots of fun #livelooping my way through this one at a recent event Jolene Sound Room BK @moxywilliamsburg @barlabhospitality #chordprogression #yachtrock #nycOneManBand

What does it look like when you're right up in my face at an event? Upon reflection, I think the intimacy of "Night Moves" is perfect for this angle. ;-P Let me know what you think of this #livelooping cover! #nightmoves #bobseger #nycOneManBand #giggingmusician

It was fun to answer these questions, and it made me appreciate how inventive and savvy so many creative individuals have become in this increasingly strange modern gig economy. canvasrebel.com/finding-financ… #nycOneManBand #hustle #selfemployed #diy

Came out of a #reggae tune and decided to go right into "I'm Yours." The result is a bit more syncopated than the original, and was very fun to play, if not a tad difficult with that off-beat swing while singing. #syncopation #nycOneManBand #soul #rock #rnb #guitar #livelooping

Midtown opportunity to catch what my #nycOneManBand has been up to all year! I'm fresh off a little vacation, and I'm happy to be at MJ Smiths on 45th tomorrow for some tunes, 7:30-10:30pm. Hope to see you there! #midtown #guitar #livelooping #giggingmusician

#BWSF2024 is the longest running, totally independent music festival in Brooklyn. Come party with some real ones at the very cool and very DIY Eureka's in Bushwick on September 6th, and as if Bushwick hasn't been "discovered" yet.

Had a lot of fun at this outdoor corporate lunch with my full wireless setup! Yup, that's a "Britney Spears Microphone" 😆 and a wireless guitar setup allowing me to walk around and mingle while I play. #roamingguitarist #britneyspears #corporatelunch #nycOneManBand #livelooping

#summer #throwback Video loop of a particularly beautiful wedding from this Summer season! I did a mix of acoustic guitar and vocals for the ceremony, with my #onemanband for the cocktail hour and reception. #nycOneManBand #soul #rock #rnb #guitar #livelooping #giggingmusician

I often joke that I'm a salesman who occasionally gets to play music. But, with a lot of these questions, I felt tapped into the broad architecture of creative pursuits in general. I hope it provides some insights that are helpful to others. Link here: boldjourney.com/meet-grant-swi…

310 Bowery Bar debut! Excited to try out some new digs. I'll be there in my #nycOneManBand format, entertaining all with whatever the vibe requires. :) Come on out and say Hi. #onemanband #livelooping #giggingmusician

Come on out this Sunday to support independent art for the YOYO's Variety Show and warm up with pizza, beer & wine, all included with the price of your ticket! Tickets available through my website: grantswift.com/shows #nycOneManBand #independentart #yoyo #cinefemme

I have a lot of fun creating something out of nothing with my #onemanband. I'll be doing more of this thing tomorrow at Lovejoys - a lovely and loungey cocktail bar in the heart of Bushwick. Hope to see you there every fourth Sunday, from 7-10pm! #nycOneManBand

✈️ Such a pleasure to play music for the SHRM Talent Conference in Nashville last week. Shoutouts to Ian Shaw, who I got to see at the Commodore Grille open mic - a tremendously talented kid who has relocated to the city to attend NYU. Let's keep him :) #openmic #nashville #nyc

Marvin Gaye brought his live looping rig to rehearsal with the Foo Fighters... :) Throwback to late last year when I had the pleasure of playing music for the Carbon Leadership Forum conference event at Love City Brewing. #livelooping as a #onemanband. #tbt

I celebrate the entire Beatles' catalog, but I like to switch it up with some new renditions. This particular arrangement has been one of my favorites this Summer - and I first improvised it here, at this Summer corporate luncheon. #improvised #nycOneManBand

I got to live-loop for the grand opening of a big client in the ❤️ of Columbus Circle - at a former Starbucks where I used to grab coffee btwn classes as a student at @fordhamnyc Lincoln Center, when it was more likely I'd end up a lawyer than a professional musician. Weird.
