Following two decades of original songs celebrating the Chippewa Valley, the Swampers are branching out to explore such universal subjects as love, life, mind and spirit. Yes, our musical lumberjacks care deeply about the north woods and will always continue to celebrate local lore. However, they also have ideas and interests that extend into the wider world of thoughts, emotions and relationships. We invite you to join the Swampers - Amanda Schafer, Kathy Danielson, Judy Brist, Jerry Way, Tim Danielson, Joe Danielson and Rob Kuchta--as they begin BRANCHING OUT in new directions.
