Swear and Shake has gone from city to city connecting people by taking listeners on a ride through heart-wrenching ballads, only to pick it up on the next song with something people can dance to and lose themselves in completely.

Though both Kari Spieler (guitar, vocals) and Adam McHeffey (guitar, banjo, vocals) performed regularly around the campus of SUNY Purchase College, it wasn't until the final weeks of their senior year in 2010 that they met and recorded "Johnnie," a song Swear & Shake performs to this day.

In August of 2014 the band released its third set of recordings, "Ain't That Lovin'." In November of 2014 the band will be relocating to Nashville, TN, to begin writing and recording their next full-length record, and to plan their next headlining tour for 2015.

Lauren Shera's DigSin debut "Gold and Rust" marks the distinguished national bow of a literally prodigious singer-songwriter who, having spent half of her young life as a professional musician, is now destined to capture the national spotlight.

The Nashville-based singer-songwriter's album - her third, following two independently released titles - is Shera's musical farewell to her home state of California. "Gold and Rust is very much my last creative chapter in California - saying goodbye to the coast, and all my friends and family there."

One thing is certain: No matter whether Lauren Shera is living in the Golden State or Music City, she's a new talent to be reckoned with.
