The Swon Brothers - Shay's Spotlight Artist of the Week

Zach and Colton Swon were born in Muskogee, Oklahoma and have been performing since they were children. They toured with their parents who were also artists; gospel group Exodus. A few years later the boys started calling themselves the Swon Brothers and were playing various venues.In 2007 they auditioned for American Idol, then in 2013 they auditioned for Season 4 of The Voice. Three of the 4 judges wanted them but they stuck with Blake Shelton as their mentor throughout the show.They eventually ended the show in third place.

They released a couple of independent albums early on and then a professionally recorded album, but it wasn't until after their Voice performance that they were signed to a record deal with Arista Nashville. The first single off of their album was released in December of 2013. That album is set to be released mid-October of this year.
