Maple Ridge

Swear and Shake: Ain’t That Lovin’ EP

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from folk rock group Swear and Shake. From their successful album, Maple Ridge, comes another stellar EP titled Ain’t That Lovin’. Here, the Brooklyn-based group of Kari, Adam, Shaun, and Benny treats long-time fans and new listeners with five fresh songs that have been created during the group’s tour.

Swear and Shake: Maple Ridge

If Bon Iver and The Carpenters had a love child, then it will definitely be Swear and Shake. Their new musical venture, Maple Ridge, paints a fresh new color to the somehow predictable indie folk landscape. Hailing from New York, the band is composed of Kari Spieler, Adam McHeffey, Shaun Savage, and Thomas Elefante. The quartet was formed last 2010 upon an encounter between Kari and Adam who then recruited two of his long-time friends Shaun and Tom. After that, the rest is history filled with live performances, tours across the US, and opening acts for big musicians like Alison Krauss and Ray LaMontagne.
