The Reverend
Tom Swiss
and his Eclectic Acoustic Maneuvers
Singing Songs of Love and Other Dangers
Including original music based around poetic lyrics, and covers ranging from centuries-old folk songs to 21st century rock and roll, Tom Swiss's eclectic music was once described by a bystander as sounding like "a combination of Jim Morrison and Jello Biafra".
