Ken Swanger Lead Guitar and Vocals Kenny... Jimi Hendrix was the main reason I became a musician. I saw his performance in the film "Woodstock" and from then on, I knew what I wanted to do... ROCK N' ROLL! I originally began playing guitar around 1982... In 1983. I met Lynn Ingle and we formed THE OATH, one of the most enduring and successful bands from Greenville, S.C. I was the original guitarist for the band up until 1993. We released three independent albums during this time. "Broken Promises"... "Promise Fulfilled" ... "Grunge Rock Lives". These releases sold well, considering they were all independent efforts. In 1993, I switched to bass guitar after the band had no luck finding a suitable replacement bassist. I enjoy playing guitar and bass, so the switch was fairly easy. In 2003, I switched instruments again, this time playing lead guitar and guitar synthesizer. This adds a new dimension to the band's already wide musical palate. I also have done studio work and projects with other bands and musicians. I've produced, arranged and mixed music and recorded as a studio musician. I also run the live sound for The Oath / Party Of Four. I'm proud that ... The Oath has been so successful and the future for the band is even more promising. GUITAR / ROLAND SYNTHESIZER
