The Freight swings as never before when our stage is graced by the power and passion of jazz and blues songstress Brenda Boykin and guitarist Eric Swinderman. Brenda applies her rich, husky contralto to material gleaned from big bands, old blues hands, and honky tonk heroes, mixing it all up with the inimitable combination of silk and sandpaper, jazzy sweetness and down-home sass that she calls "bourbon and cornbread". Brenda's "musical soul mate," Eric Swinderman, is an imaginative guitarist with a mellow sound and an unstoppable swing who shares Brenda's talent for creating a warm and intimate rapport with audiences. Brenda and Eric's innovative brand of smooth blues and rough jazz can also be explored on their new album, Bourbon & Cornbread.
