Raised by Swans is a Canadian indie rock band built around the haunting, contemplative songs of singer-songwriter Eric Howden, who founded the band in 1998. The current touring line-up of the band includes Alex Wright, Andy Magoffin, Brady Parr, and Ray Cammaert. The name ‘Raised By Swans’ was inspired by a cathartic dream Howden had after leaving his previous band The Gandharvas, and relies on the use of a homonym (‘raise’: to rear; to elevate) to simultaneously convey a sense of both connection and freedom.
