Swan Dive with Molly Felder and Bill DeMain – Timeless Pop Inspired by Bossa Nova and 60s Pop Music
SIC Cultural Arts presents Swan Dive, the pop duo of Bill DeMain and Molly Felder. Drawing inspiration from classic influences such as Burt Bacharach, bossa nova and 70s soul, Swan Dive creates melodic, romantic songs with a timeless feel.
Since forming in 1997, the duo has released ten albums and performed internationally, from New York to Seoul and Tokyo. Their music has appeared on television shows including Private Practice and Sons of Anarchy, as well as in national and international advertising campaigns.
Join us at SIC for an evening of thoughtfully crafted pop music that feels both familiar and fresh.
