Katie Stuckey and the Swagger is a Houston-based ensemble of experienced musicians whose paths have crossed in an eclectic journey of various styles and genres. With Craig Feazel on pedal steel and electric guitar, Will Thomas on rhythm guitar, Mark Riddell on bass, and Chris Lewis on drums, the music draws from alternative country roots to create a pulsing, sonically charged energy that compliments Katie’s powerful and sultry vocal style. Katie Stuckey and the Swagger’s dry wit creates an unmistakable tension both lyrically and musically, eased every so often by atmospheric interludes and driving rhythms that are sure to stir the soul of audiences everywhere and please the ears of young and old alike. It’s a fantastic mix of folk, country, and rock guided by the collective vision of talented musicians and brought to you with pride…and even a little swagger.

After being together for only 6 months, Katie Stuckey and the Swagger was nominated for four (4) Houston Press Awards and clinched two awards for Best Female Vocalist & Best Folk/Acoustic Act. Expect to hear great things from the band in the future.
