AVA is a Montana-grown musician whose original songs blend indie, jazz, and RnB influences into folk roots. Her music is directly reflective of her life as a young woman in the era of late capitalist, mass-mediated North America. Themes of greed, power, (dis)connection, love, and loss permeate AVA's playing style for a unique, contemporary sound.
AVA is a lifelong musician and songwriter. She is currently placing music at the forefront of her priorities, focusing on touring, recording, and collaborating with other brilliant artists.
Although the Covid-19 pandemic has certainly altered AVA's musical path, she feels strongly devoted to her process and will continue to write, record, and perform (when possible).
"[AVA] examines how image, desire and mortality shape modern times."
Ava Swanson’s Aweless Indie Irony
by Sean McAlindin, 2020
"Her songs are poignant, deep with folk roots and breezy jazz-tinged vocals. Clever lyrics reckon with existence in a late capitalist America."
