Steven Swinford, President

Steven Swinford-Musician, Composer and Producer grew up in the midst of the LA music scene. A self taught musician, Steven started playing guitar at the age of 8 and by the time he was 17 he became one of the most sought after session players in LA. He went on to master other instruments including Dobro, Banjo, Mandolin and Steel Guitar and was nominated several years in a row by the Academy of Country Musics LA Chapter for Best Guitar Player and Best Steel Guitar Player.

Steven performed weekly with popular bands through out LA and the West Coast and then went on to spend a number of years touring the United States and around the world with major recording artists. As well as lending his talent to other artists Steven also started writing songs at the age of seventeen, when he wrote the song "Sailing at Sunset" which would later be recorded and released on his first self produced CD entitled "Nolan's Farm"

The time spent and experience gained as a session player and touring musician as well as his development as a songwriter, would prove to be very valuable when Steven decided to turn his focus to music production. Steven would go on to established his own production company and produce music for a variety of artists across a multitude of musical genres.

Steven currently resides in Las Vegas NV where he owns and operates Swinford Music Productions Inc., a full production audio recording studio and Nolans Farm Music Publishing, a music publishing company representing a large catalog of songs currently being used in film and television.
Steven continues to spend his time producing music for a number of artists as well as writing music for his publishing company's catalog. He is also the Musical Director and guitar player for The Gordie Brown Show in Las Vegas.

Stacy Swinford, Creative Dir.

 Having been raised in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California, and influenced by the "outlaw generation" of the country scene at the time artists like like Lacy J Dalton, Waylon Jennings, and Don Williams. Growing up listening to greats Like Gordon Lightfoot and John Prine, it seems only natural that Stacy's music is reminiscent of those childhood influences.
 
With her knack for lyric writing and storytelling making it's appearance at an early age, it seems Stacy was always destined for Nashville. At the age of 18, she packed up a beat up 67' Mustang and set out for Music City to pursue her dream of becoming a singer/songwriter.
 
The rest is history.
 
Her heartfelt lyrics and unique tone draw you in from the first word and keeps you captivated until the very end. With stories so personal and a voice so pure and emotional,you find yourself asking "Is this song about her?"
 
In 2000, Stacy met producer (and future husband) Steven Swinford, and together, they've made their roots in Nevada. Since then, they have started up successful production (Swinford Music Productions) and publishing (Nolans Farms Music Publishing) companies. Quoted as saying " I've learned that you should follow your heart and face your fears. You should look at life with childlike wonder. I am a believer in fate and destiny", she encourages us to reach for all we dreamed of in the carefree days of childhood. 
 
Stacy Swinford brings her trademark fusion of country/pop and folk music to a new generation of music fans.
 
Please look for Stacy's debut cd entitled "This Random Life" to be released in November of 2010
