Details:
Steve Ullman and Kenny Weiland started performing as the Swunk Brothers in 2003 in south and central New Hampshire. Over the years the band has become a loose collaboration of musicians including Steve (Steve O)Organek, Mick Dunn, Sonny Feliciano, and Gene (Geno) Bouffard.

In the early spring of 2006, Mick, Steve O, Geno, and Kenny recorded 12 original songs over two weekends in Kenny's home. These songs were recorded live with additional solo and harmony tracks added. Matt Marcil engineered the recording, mixing and mastering of this CD.

Kennyâs work as a songwriter has caught the attention of other artists. Jazz and blues singer, Ava Dupree will be recording one of his songs, âThis Heart Ainât Breakinâ for Youâ on her next CD, and Johhny Boyd, former lead singer for Indigo Swing Band licensed another of his songs, âNow Youâre Hereâ for a future project.

Born and raised in the Chicago area, Kennyâs influences are jazz oriented with the refined and sophisticated lyrics of songs from the 30âs and 40âs. Add some edgy arrangements and Mills Brothers harmony, and you have a unique individual unafraid to explore the boundaries.
