Surge and the Swell is the solo and collaboration vehicle of Minnesota-based, Americana and Indie-folk, singer-songwriter Aaron Cabbage.
Born in Kentucky, raised in Southeast Texas via Indiana, and now calling Minnesota home, his influences run North to South.
The title track of his initial EP “Love 4000” is a timely anthem to long-distance relationships in the era of technology-enabled romance and more recently, the pandemic travel restrictions. Other songs on the debut EP deal with fresh starts, mindfulness, and first sparks.
In the 2022 debut LP, “Offering,” Cabbage set out to create “soaring-chorus Americana” with a theme of “accepting the new normal.” Songs like “Full in the Now,” “Hard Work” and “Gravity Boots” were inspired by the shifts in daily life experienced in the global pandemic and the stresses placed on the workforce. The songs on this album were written to be performed on a big stage celebrating outdoor music or in more intimate settings with an acoustic guitar.
