Meet The Band
Thom Blasberg
Lead Vocals, Rhythm & Lead Guitar
Thom Blasberg is originally from Ocean City, NJ, & has been playing guitar since the age of 14. He lived in Northern Virginia (DC metro area) prior to moving to Florida in 2014, performing band and solo gigs at music venues, corporate parties, weddings, wineries, etc. Thom continues to perform as a solo acoustic guitarist and singer around the Greater Daytona Beach area in addition to playing with Swiftkick.
To endure the physical requirements of hauling musical equipment & performing a live stage show, Thom follows a rigorous exercise routine: Each day he does sit-ups, sitting up once when getting out of bed in the morning, and then completing the repetition at the end of the day when he reclines back onto his pillow. He also likes to run around the block 10 times a day. When he's done, he pushes the block back under the bed, & goes back to sleep. To keep off the pounds, Thom sticks to a strict liquid diet of beer. The rock & roll lifestyle is not as easy as it appears.
Andy Knoll
Keyboards
Andy was the primary keyboardist for singer Lou Gramm of Foreigner for 13 years prior to his move to Florida in 2021 and joining Swiftkick in 2024.
