THE NATIVE SWAY

The Native Sway was home-grown in the heart of the high country in Boone, NC. This energetic quartet has come together under a wide range of influences from surf rock to soul, funk to bluegrass, punk to break-beat, house to dub, and jazz to world.

The four members converged in the heart of the high country- Boone, NC. As students of Appalachian State University, they met through mutual friends, and the occasional jam-party. They felt a strong attraction to play together, and the first exclusive jam in Josh and Kelly's basement rendered an unmistakable, incomparable chemistry between them. That was late August of 2008. Since then, they have grown thanks to their enormous Boone family, to whom they credit much of their success. "Without the crowd, there is no show. Our grassroots network of friends and fans have helped us from the git-go, and that's what's real. That's what matters."
