John Swan was born in Glasgow, Scotland. His family emigrated to Australia when he was still a child and settled in Elizabeth, South Australia. Apart from a stint in the Army, where he gained the title of South Australian Amateur Boxing Champion, John's career has always revolved around music.
He has been on the Australian music scene since he was 14 years old. He has become part of this country's musical backbone playing first as a drummer, then as a singer with many of the country's top rock and roll outfits.
In 1978 he released his first album "Into The Night" with WEA Records. Swanee's first major chart success was a great rendition of Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter" from the album "This Time It's Different". Success with the next 2 singles from the album immediately followed. "Lady What's Your Name" and "Temporary Heartache" both screamed straight up the charts.
Swanee played all over the country, winning new fans wherever he went. He built a reputation as one of the best and most respected rock'n'roll singers in the country. "Live In The Snow" was recorded for all his fans who constantly requested songs that Swanee performed but hadn't recorded.
Recorded by Australian producer Mark Moffatt in Nashville, "Have a Little Faith" features many of Nashville's finest players working through a selection of new songs from John, some favourite tunes and some updated versions of his biggest hits. Swanee is back with the Blues where it all started those many years ago.
