Born and raised amid Newfoundland's rugged west coast, solo artist Calvin Swyers has refined his musical talent into a poignant narrative centred around the stories and emotions of life. From an early age, Calvin was steeped in a rich, musical tradition, inspired greatly by his father's guitar playing and storytelling ability at social gatherings, which sparked the ignition of his own musical journey.
