BRICK BY BRICK OUT NOW!

I'm so excited to be sharing the first single to come from my bluegrass album!

‘Brick by Brick’ signals a sonic shift for the singer/songwriter, firmly planting itself in Bluegrass terrain. The usual suspects are on display - rolling banjo, fiddle and mandolin tangled together at breakneck speed - anchored by Swift’s unmistakable vocal. ‘Brick by Brick’ offers the first taste of a forthcoming bluegrass-inspired project that has quietly been brewing behind the scenes for years.

“I’ve been talking about recording a bluegrass album for a couple of years, so to finally have the first single from this album be here is a pretty special thing for me.”

Written alongside Melanie Dyer, Simone Sordello, Gretta Ziller and Jackson James, the session was unexpectedly cathartic.

“A few of us in that session had been burnt by someone we’d considered to be a good friend, we’d given them more chances than we should’ve, so there was a chunk of hurt and frustration in the room, as a result, writing Brick by Brick ended up being a rather therapeutic experience.”

Swift’s bluegrass debut features some of the finest players in the genre, including Tammy Rogers (The Steeldrivers) on fiddle, Rod McCormack on banjo, Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder) on bass & Jen Mize on backing vocals, with mastering by Raelynn Janicke in Nashville, and produced by longtime collaborator and close friend Damian Cafarella at ZiggyTone Recording Studio in Melbourne.

“I was a little nervous to not only to be working with a new producer, but to also be trying something new with my sound. Fortunately, I chose my guitarist and one of my best friends to produce this thing.”

“Damian Cafarella and I have spent many, many hours on the road touring together and he’s heard me talk about making a bluegrass record for the last two or three years, we also spent a lot of that time listening to The Steeldrivers, Mustered Courage, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Dan Tyminski and Darrell Scott. So, when it came time to record, Damian knew exactly the type of sound I was going for.”

While ‘Brick by Brick’ might surprise listeners familiar with the refined country-rock sound of recent releases, the stylistic shift feels less like reinvention and more like an artist unwilling to stand still creatively. Having firmly established himself as one of Australian Country’s most recognisable voices - recently earning nominations for the 2026 CountryTown Awards Album of the Year and 2026 CMAA Golden Guitar Male Artist of the Year - Swift now enters a new chapter driven by artistic curiosity.
