Joel Anderson (Lead Vocals, Drums) was born with drumsticks in his hands. He has been an active participant in the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for most of his life. Joel has performed on several albums and at countless venues, both as a drummer and lead vocalist.
Tommy Huxley (Lead Guitar) has a unique style that draws upon several elements of blues, rock, and jazz. He has been known to bastardize his strings and to rip facemelters when least expected. Before SwampDonky, Tommy was active in the East Bay and Santa Barbara scenes. He has played in many styles of bands including Blues, Progressive Rock, Latin Jazz, and R&B.
Ryan Lorenzini (Guitar, Vocals) is admittedly the "rhythm" guitar player and "backup" vocalist. Did I mention that he's involved in the production of everything, from sound engineering, arrangement, songwriting, marketing, artwork, keeping Tommy & Joel in line, etc... you get the idea.
Tony Ebster (Bass, Vocals) plays an Ibanez bass through an Ampeg SVT. His influences range from rock to metal to jazz. He is also heavily influenced by Dimmu Borgir. He lays down bass lines that are both complex and simple and his sounds tend to resemble those of the great Mike Watt. Tony has played in several bands in the San Francisco Bay Area over the past 15 years.
