Current Swell

[5][6] Current Swell's roots lie on the west coast of Canada in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.

[7] Originally a group of friends hanging out, jamming, and writing music, the band began performing in backyards and on beaches, and has gained popularity through its online presence and dedicated Internet fan base.

[8] The Internet has contributed significantly to the Canadian west coast band's large following in South America, particularly Brazil, where it headlined in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in 2012.

Current Swell has opened for bands like The Beach Boys, Xavier Rudd,[9] Dispatch, Bedouin Soundclash[10] and The Beautiful Girls,[11] and has made appearances at the 2010 Winter Olympics and the Ottawa Bluesfest.

However, the people in the band's life--friends, strangers, and fans who have been a part of their journey and development as artists, influenced the album Long Time Ago.
