Swagger was formed by Rick Butler in 2007 when he moved from California to Utah bringing his love of Irish music. Along with a local fiddler Dennis Harrington from (Chicago), put together a group of local musicians to form the band. Swagger played their 1st. pub show at the PipderDown on April, 24th. 2007. The match was lit & the Band took off. Swagger has been honing their original brand of Celtic music at festivals and concert halls across the United States ever since. Well known for their high-energy stage performances and catchy original songs, Swagger’s music is the expected Irish celebration of drink, mischief, and music, which also dares to explore oppression and take an emigrant’s perspective on the virtues and vices of the Irish-American culture. Along the way, the band has shared the stage with such groups as The Young Dubliners, The English Beat,The Clumsy Lovers, Howard Jones, Brother, Albanach, Andy Frasco, just to name a few. In 2010 Swagger assembled Utah’s 1st. Irish Music Festival at Deer Valley in front of 5,000 new fans. After 3 years of hosting their own Irish festival, the band hit the road performing at festivals along the west coast. Swagger has released 4 studio albums, Trouble on the Green (2008), The Grave (2010), America Land (2013) & Gypsy Road (2017). The Band consist of Rick Butler, (Manager, Lead Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin & Banjo), Dennis Harrington (Fiddle & Vocals), Trip Marshall (Lead Guitar & Mandolin), Manny Slack (Bass & Vocals), Mike Bailey (Drums), Eric Slaymaker ( Vocals, Tin Whistle & Mandolin). Swagger’s line up of veteran musicians blend in rock, blues, jazz, classical, bluegrass, reggae and country music styles. Their musicianship and live performances give their audiences a truly complete entertainment experience to remember.
