WGBH Front Row Boston reviews "Growing pains"

December 13, 2017 by Courtney Swain in Bent Knee, Courtney Solo, On Tour

"Swain’s lyrics hold a hidden humor, both in the occasional over-dramatics and in the inherent relatable quality to them — something that brings the listener deeper, settling in with their demons."

Back from tour & In the studio

August 20, 2015 by Courtney Swain in Bent Knee, On Tour

We finished off the Bent Knee summer tour in Boston on Sunday. Being in the road for 2.5 months was an incredible experience. There were some tough moments for sure, but we learned a lot. I'm proud that we made it though the other end without any major accidents, conflicts, or health issues.

Strolling in Nanaimo

July 06, 2015 by Courtney Swain in On Tour, Bent Knee

Our stay in Nanaimo has been absolutely wonderous. I'm so grateful to be acquainted with David & Susan, who are both delightful, kind, and passionate people. Very inspiring to see them so happy in their 'forever home', despite the many roadblocks they've overcome in their lives.

From Nanaimo

Last night's show at the Queen's in Nanaimo was fantastic. The place was full, and people were dancing and waying to our songs. Our friends David and his wife Susan were way up front. I smiled when I saw David jumping up and down when we played Way Too Long at the end. Two incredibly kind people.

Detroit

June 13, 2015 by Courtney Swain in On Tour, Band Photos, Bent Knee

Photos of Bride Stirpped Bare, a band we played with at the Tangent Gallery in Detroit. They had a wonderful performer with them, who went through at least three or four different attires. Loved taking photos of him wrapped in burlap, with confetti, and with sparks flying from a metal saw.
