About

We are the band for when you want different music. Something warm, sensitive and honest. Just like you.

The Jordan Lake Swimmers are a New Time String Band -- ideal when you want to set a warm acoustic mood to your wedding event with Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Banjo, Fiddle and Dobro instrumentation and pleasing harmonies.

Jordan Lake Swimmers provide an acoustic presentation of current songs from Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Ed Sheeran, U2, Coldplay and Avett Brothers. We can also perform what we call new gospel songs which includes praise music by Wren Collective & Mumford & Sons. Because we play familiar songs we get a wonderful reception. Jordan Lake Swimmers are the type of band you would see at Merlefest -- not strictly bluegrass but use bluegrass instrumentation We are a genre-blurring group of folk-influenced troubadours.

Jordan Lake Swimmers have played many wedding events and ceremonies held at Trophy Brewery, The Meadows, Picnic in Durham, Wakefield Barn, The Cadillac Service Garage, Old Milburnie Fishing Club and Asheboro Country Club.

We utilize a Bose Tower PA so we can fit a small foot print while sounding professional. In the smallest of venues we just mic the vocals, but with the Bose tower we can mic the instruments for an outside event or a large group. For your event, we may be able to include some of your favorite songs!

Thank you Jordan Lake Swimmers!

The Jordan Lake Swimmers were a perfect fit for our wedding reception at a Durham-area barbecue joint. Fantastic musicianship and good people, they lent a friendly and enthusiastic vibe to our evening. Even better was Gary and team's professionalism and responsiveness in creating a music profile to our liking, and checking in frequently in advance of the event to ensure that all went smoothly. Thank you again to the Jordan Lake Swimmers! Can't recommend them highly enough and would love to attend some of their gigs again in the future.
