The roots of Reckless Daughter were laid in 1997 when Maribeth Swan was
introduced to guitarist/keyboardist Scott Whittle. Maribeth and Scott began
writing together and were soon performing as an acoustic duo, opening for local
acts throughout the Boston area.
In 2000, they recruited bass, electric guitar and drums, and began taking the
stage as a full band. With a diverse group of musicians grounded in rock, blues
and funk, Reckless Daughter was born.
RD recorded a 4-song EP, 2000's As They Seem, which included a
guest appearance by Jim Gambino (The Swinging Steaks) on Hammond B3. The CD received airplay throughout New England, and RD was invited to play several live on-air shows.
Reckless Daughter chose their first appearance at Boston HarborFest to
release their second EP, the self-titled Reckless Daughter. Like As They
Seem, Reckless Daughter has been extremely well-received, and is in
strong rotation on radio stations throughout New England, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
RD is currently working with acclaimed producer/engineer Kenny Lewis on two new tracks, Everyday and Red Flags. Keep an eye (and an ear) open for both on our MySpace page soon!
Even as we speak, RD is working on all-new material for a CD we'll
release nationally in 2008
Well now it's March of 2009, and RD recorded 2 songs which were never released, and have actually now disbanded. We are all continuing on with different projects, please check out our individual myspaces for updates. A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all those folks who supported us over the years, and represented at the shows, as well as behind the scenes. We would like to send out a special thanks to the Ellman's, you guys are the bomb! We love all of you!!! ROCK!! RD.
