Details:
"Swing The Moon" is an album about escaping the ordinary. In a society where most people sacrifice what they love for what they have to have, Union County is asking people...begging people...pleading with people to never settle. Asking them to not just become another person who gets halfway through life and breaks down. Asking them to not be a person who doesn''t question others and themselves in an attempt to be better. This album is about real-life pressing matters and is a commentary on the lives of two men who refuse to simply take what they can get.
Biography:
Union County consists of two members: Alan Peterson and Steve Thompson. UC began at Appalachian State University in 2005. Alan had been playing guitar and singing for many years and had recently started getting serious about his songwriting. Steve had been writing and playing in band''s for years and was looking for someone to build a unique band with. Alan and Steve were both music majors at Appalachian and got to know each other in a choir that they both sang in. The thing that they really remember most about the formation of their friendship is cigars. The first few times they hung out were on opposite sides of burning tobacco and billowing clouds of thick white smoke. Alan and Steve spoke of pain, happiness, freedom, aspiration, religion, fear, and most of all...love. Not from a disgustingly chipper angle or as though it were a redoubtable opponent. Instead they spoke of love as it is: the center of all things. This belief at the core of each of them bound them together in a tight friendship very quickly. Months went on and one night Steve and Alan played some music together in Steve''s apartment. In this one night it was abundantly clear to both men that there was a special spark in the sound. The styles were different. Alan''s leaned toward folk/jazz and Steve''s pushed towards rock/pop, but the mesh seemed effortless. The two were equally impressed with one another''s ability and decided to try to work something out. Alan and Steve were immediately pleased with the way their voices sounded while singing together...and they quickly realized that this "Union" of styles was one that was strong. It only took a few practices and they were writing songs with the other person''s part in mind and before long they had established a home for their specific musical creations..."Union County". The rest is future history.
