The Swellers started as an opening band, the ones you saw before headliners took the stage. For a while, that was all they did; however, eventually more shows were booked and even some great contacts made!
Jonathon Diener of The Swellers saw this opportunity as an opportunity to change things around and reinvent his career non-trajectory; one which mirrors that of many bands with one or two successes but never enough to sustain themselves as full-time musicians for life.
