“The Swift Brothers” - Harry, 12 and Oscar, 10 are the sons of Grant Swift, internationally recognized performer, teacher and tap producer. Inevitably they have inherited the passion for the art form of Tap as they have grown up around Tap, Live Jazz, Reggae music and African song and dance bands.
The Swift Brothers have been performing professionally since they were 4 appearing in shows such as Brenda Buffalino’s Australian Tour, Foot Jam (Tap- Flamenco Fusion), MITF alongside such established and inspiring artists as Lamine Sonko, The Sedergreen Trio, Jason Samuel Smith, Shonah Honey Hill Sonko and the Wicked Force Breakers.
As brothers they have that special bond on stage that only comes from family as they carry on tap’s proud history of brother acts stemming from The Nicholas Brothers, The Condos Brothers, The Berry Brothers and The Hines Kids to name a few. They are relishing the opportunity to bring Tap to a wider audience through past TV appearances include Channel 9 Good Morning Show and Zokky the Kangaroo and an upcoming TV series.
You can occasionally catch The Swift Brothers tearing it up on Bourke St mall as they hone their improvisation and performance skills on the hardest stage of all – the street. The Swift Brothers continue to work hard with patience bringing their own original feel to the thriving present state of the world Tap scene while remaining respectful to its proud history.
