Americana with a Rock and Roll temper. Through wicked curves and twisting turns, the Stagger and Sway delivers acoustic-driven Americana with a Rock and Roll temper that’s both off-kilter and spot-on. Centered around songwriter Mike Last’s intimate melodies, ear-catching lyrics, and unique bite, this Eugene, OR four-piece lands somewhere in the spectrum between Wilco and Death Cab for Cutie, delivering “smart under-stated, impeccably crafted songs” with skilled precision and artful abandon.“ "Rooted in Americana and alternative country, delivered with a noticeable edge in Last’s conversational vocals” (Northwest Indie Music.com) Since early-2009, the Stagger and Sway continues to tour the Northwest as showgoers find themselves leaning in—captivated by vivid lyrics—then, surrendering to a raucous swell, stomping their feet and drumming on tables. Following the Time Changes EP, their first full-length album Break Til You Bend blends country-bent ballads (“Wyoming”) with angular power-pop (“Loudmouth Ideas”), and anthemic rock (“Sh*t Adv*ce”) with addictively heartbreaking melodies (“Eyes like David Bowie”). the Stagger and Sway is: Mike Last - acoustic guitar, vocals Jerry "Groove" Abelin - upright bass, vocals Ken Howe - drums Brian Patrick - electric guitar User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
