HONORARY ADVISORY COUNCIL

What is Swallow Hill | Staff | Board of Directors | History

Every culture on the planet has a tradition of Folk and Roots music. When the soundtrack to the film O Brother Where Art Thou was awarded a Grammy for the Best Album of the Year, the invisible nation that supports this music finally received the recognition it so richly deserves. Despite the fact that this music in America enjoys tremendous popularity, American radio stations seldom, if ever, play the music.

We believe that recognition of the importance and beauty of this music is far overdue by the American media and that it is our responsibility to do what we can to raise the awareness of the American public. To that end, we are proud to have consolidated the Swallow Hill Honorary Advisory Council. The objective of the Council is to enlist the support of notable musicians and other key individuals in raising public awareness as to the importance of Folk and Roots music.

The musicians listed below have demonstrated their support for Swallow Hill and our mission. We hope to continue adding other artists and supporters of the music.
