Swan Sovereign (band)

The band was founded by three singer songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Stephanie Schneiderman (drums), Lara Michell (guitar) and Christine McKinley (bass), who write all the group's songs and share the vocal duties.

The band uniquely blends folk, rock, Americana, and pop to form an eclectic explosion of beautiful harmonies, sharp song writing, and heartbreaking melancholy.

Their latest album, Tea and Revenge, was released in September 2006, and was produced by John Askew (FILMguerrero) and Dave Allen (Gang of Four).

They kept the theater-in-the-round format until David Allen, Gang of Four's bass player, suggested, "Why don't you stand up and be a proper band already?".

Lea Krueger was initially also a member but left to pursue a solo career after recording the band's debut album.
