The Swift will then head out on a 30-city fall tour with labelmate The Turning and special guest Josh Wilson.
Founded as a worship band in North Carolina in 1998, piano man/ vocalist Britt Edwards and bassist/vocalist Mike Simons still form the core of The Swift, which followed up its 2002 self-titled debut with 2004's "Today." Performing in front of thousands at camps and conferences each year as well as opening tours for Mercy Me and Audio Adrenaline, The Swift brings an active and devoted fan base to its new label home. Piano-driven and vertically focused, "Singing Back to You" unveils the band's deepening maturity and dynamic musicianship with stylistic leanings reminiscent of Keane and Ben Folds.
The Swift's Edwards said, "All of our records have been and will continue to be worshipful because that's such a big part of what we've always done live. I call this our 'official' worship record because this is the first one that we've really concentrated totally on worship and what that means to us. With this record we are seeing God as a wonderful creator who has been, in a sense, singing to us through the beauty of creation, and this album is our response."
