Bio
We are a small band out of San Antonio filled with great musicians. We have recorded 6 CDs, and charted highly in many Americana and Roots reviews. We have managed to carve our own niche in the Americana music scene by embracing the rich musical heritage of San Antonio's conjunto and rock n roll history. This band sounds like San Antonio, a mixture of cultures and generations colliding and embracing each other.

A few quotes we like
Mitch Webb 2019
“Mitch Webb’s Tex-Mex balladeering and Spanglish twanging brings to mind being stuck driving through King Ranch on a Sunday afternoon in a pickup truck without A/C, the windows wide-open and radio cranking for a sing-a-long to pass the time.” Benjamin Ortiz / Chicago Tribune
“…combine the punk rock immediacy of the True Believers, the Tex-Mex persuasions of Sir Douglas Quintet and the seedy innocence of a million garage dwellers…” Luke / Luke Magazine / Somewhere In England
Filled with fantastic dance music and world-class musicians, we are a 6-piece band out of San Antonio. We have recorded 6 CDs and charted highly in many Americana and Roots reviews. We have managed to carve our own niche from the Americana music scene by embracing the rich cultural heritage of San Antonio. The band sounds like San Antonio, a mixture of country, rock, and conjunto. It's the sound of cultures and generations colliding and embracing each other.
“Mitch Webb and The Swindles continue in the rich musical tradition of San Antonio, Texas on Lonely Kind, a blend of rockabilly, roots country and in-your-face rock and roll. Reminiscent of the early days of Sun Rockabilly, Tex-Mex ballads of Freddy Fender and Flaco Jiminez and the great rock and roll sounds of Doug Sahm. Any of these songs could propel this outstanding band into the national spotlight and the album is beginning it’s rise on the R&R Americana Airplay Chart.” Bill Hurley / Artists Development Co-op
