After forming in 2007, Swift Technique has emerged as one of the finest Funk / Soul / R&B bands in the United States. Steeped in the tradition of James Brown, with the grit of Led Zeppelin, Swift Technique strives to represent "The Sound of Philadelphia".

It is imperative for Swift Technique to pay tribute to the Funk / Soul legends of the past, while also staying on the cutting edge of modern Funk, Pop & Soul. Any given set may feature classics from Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin or Al Green, as well as modern hits from Daft Punk, Amy Winehouse or Mark Ronson. Throughout their history, the band has made large audiences dance and groove around the United States at Brooklyn Bowl (Brooklyn), Bowery Ballroom (NYC), The Hamilton (Washington DC), Double Door (Chicago), The Fillmore (Philadelphia), Blue Nile (New Orleans), National Underground (Nashville) and The Middle East (Boston). The band has also performed at a wide variety of Universities, Weddings, Wedding Receptions, Private Parties and Corporate Events.

Swift Technique features a cast of the Northeast's finest musicians and performers. With the option of a full 9-piece lineup, the band will adjust their instrumentation to perfectly suit your event. The band's foundation consists of Philadelphia's finest rhythm section of Guitar, Electric Bass, Keyboards/Synth & Drum-kit, as well as a dynamic horn section featuring Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone and occasionally Baritone Saxophone or Sousaphone. The band is equally capable of supplying a mellow Jazz Trio/Quartet for receptions and cocktail parties, in addition to a full Funk lineup, of your choosing, to keep the party dancing all night.

Entering their tenth year, Swift Technique guarantees a professional and personal experience from start to finish. This is the band to ensure that all your friends and colleagues will be talking about your event for years to come!

REVIEWS


"There are no words that can adequately express our gratitude and appreciation for Swift Technique. The band made our wedding night incredible. Swift Technique is an outstanding band and any couple would be beyond lucky to have them as a wedding band. They get involved with every aspect of the event and take the party to the next level with their energy, spirit, and sound.”
- Rebecca N. - May 2016, UPENN Museum of Anthropology & Archaeology

"I couldn't recommend Swift Technique more -- they put on an amazing show at my wedding and had the dance floor packed the entire night. They were high energy and funky without any of the cheesy wedding band stuff. They were a totally low maintenance vendor that I never had to chase after to get a meeting scheduled or question answered. The best!"
- Hillary T. – April 2016, National Museum of Jewish American History

"Best wedding band I've heard at any wedding...EVER!"
- Christopher D. (Christopher's Kitchen Catering)

“Swift Technique is a band beyond comparison. They are entertainers at their core and made the music at our wedding one of the highlights of the entire night. They bring both professionalism and funk to the stage and anyone would be lucky to work with them.”
- Nick and Emily R., September 2017, Richmond Hall - Philadelphia, PA

“Our wedding guests were amazed. All night long people were asking, "where did you FIND these guys?!? They're INCREDIBLE." This came from musicians and non-musicians, kids and senior citizens."
- Jack K., October 2015, Willowwood Arboretum

“We couldn't have imagined a more energetic, upbeat wedding on such a fun day without a band like Swift Technique. They truly delivered and we are forever grateful!"
- Andrea K., September 2016, Annapolis Maritime Museum
