Eric Swaim

As an artist, my primary interest lies in music and I have consistently worked as a songwriter, recording artist and live performer since the mid 1990s. While I feel no need to explain or categorize my work (or any creative works for that matter), a pattern has emerged that reflects my love of counter culture legacies and classic punk philosophy. One could use descriptors such as indie, alternative or various post-whateverisms, but as an artist, I strive only to make things that I find exciting. I’m a firm believer that the best songs write themselves. 

I am also deeply interested in social and environmental justice and I work in social-scientific research and graphic design to develop materials for both advocatory and educational means. I am passionate about collective liberation and encourage you to be too. For me this means a commitment to community and critical consciousness. It also means practicing a vegan lifestyle and striving every day to liberate myself and others.
