Mighty Swell formed in 2016 when Sam Trawick and David Faulk (fiddle and guitar) met each other backstage at Disney World. They both realized they were from cousin states (Arkansas and Tennessee), and quickly became friends. One night after a couple whiskeys, they started talking about music, and soon enough began playing music together several nights a week at Disney Springs and other central Florida venues, with pianist Drew Moenning! They played country, bluegrass, and some top 40 pop tunes with a hillbilly twist!

Now, five years later, they have performed in numerous venues across Florida, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, and Georgia. Ted Raffetto is now their keys player and Bruno Ufret was a great addition as the drummer.  Mighty Swell is the perfect band to bring your whole family, including grandma and grandpa, for some good ol’ back porch pickin’ with big stage flair!

Country Artist. Florida Grown.

Stationed on a Navy ship at sea, Chris McNeil learned 3 chords on a guitar – and has never stopped playing since.

Born and raised in Central Florida, Chris grew up surrounded by music. His pride for where he comes from is woven into his meaningful lyrics, while the soulfulness gained singing in the church choir comes across in each note he sings. His feel-good music blends a laid-back, small-town vibe with melodies that can always get a party started.

Chris plays a full lineup of shows in the Central Florida area and beyond. His first single, County Line, has already caught the attention in the Nashville music scene. This hardworking Veteran has served his country and now finds his greatest joy entertaining others through his music.
