Swingrowers

Swingrowers are a cornerstone of the global electro-swing movement, originating from Palermo, Sicily. Founded by producer Roberto Costa (PiSk) and vocalist Loredana Grimaudo, the group has evolved from a studio-based project into a dynamic four-piece live ensemble.

Their early work, exemplified by 'Pronounced Swing Grow'ers' (2012), leaned heavily on the established electro-swing trope of sampling 1920s and 30s records over house beats. However, their subsequent discography, including 'Outsidein' and 'Hybrid', demonstrates a significant shift toward 'vintage-inspired pop,' incorporating original compositions that blend jazz, electronica, and hip-hop. They are frequently associated with genre leaders like Caravan Palace and Parov Stelar, having toured extensively with both. Critical consensus highlights their superior production quality and Grimaudo's versatile vocal range, which bridges the gap between traditional jazz crooning and contemporary pop belting. Their cultural position is that of a crossover act, successfully bringing the niche electro-swing aesthetic to broader festival audiences worldwide.
