After attending California State University as a film major, he booked and promoted punk rock and alternative music at Fender’s Ballroom and Bogart’s Nightclub in Long Beach. In 1990, while having drinks with Timothy Leary and friend, Bill Stankey, in Leary’s home in Beverly Hills, an idea for an offbeat buddy film entitled “Roadside Prophets” was conceived. Hunter S. Thompson was also included in the project. The film starred John Doe (of the band X) and Adam Horovitz (of the Beastie Boys) and featured Timothy Leary, John Cusack, David Carradine and Arlo Guthrie. In 1994, Swinson pursued another passion – law enforcement. He returned to his home base of Washington DC, where he entered the Police Academy and joined the Metropolitan Police Department. In 1998, Swinson was assigned to the Third District Detectives Office as an investigator, where he covered offenses ranging from burglary and armed robbery to homicide. In 2000, he was promoted to detective and was assigned to the department’s Special Investigations Bureau/Major Crimes, and where he was the lead investigator in the District of Columbia for investigating serial burglaries, high profile cases and organized criminal operations related to narco-fencing. www.davidswinson.com Tequila: Skelly Blanco www.azulejostequila.com Join the conversation on the Talks Tactics and Tequila Facebook Page !

Over the past few years, the Matt O'Ree Band has done what most area bands do. They've played their shows, developed their sound, released their records and very quietly built a massive fan base in the process. What makes this band different from all the others is that their local fan base includes people like Bruce Springsteen, David Bryan of Bon Jovi, Steve Cropper of Booker T and the MG's, John Popper of Blues Traveler, Bernie Worrell of Parliament-Funkadelic, and Hubert Sumlin all of whom have volunteered to perform on the band's album, Brotherhood.
Prior to Brotherhood's release, Matt's talent was recognized globally when he got the nod to join rock legends Bon Jovi as their guitarist/backing vocalist on their 2015 stadium tour of the Far East. Matt was recognized by the industry as a guitar great after winning a national guitar contest hosted by B.B. King and John Mayer through Guitar Center and Guitar World magazine. Matt beat out over 4,000 competitors to win the grand prize. This major accomplishment was the spark that jumpstarted his career and gave his band momentum for their future success. www.cabowabo.com www.mattoreeband.com www.williamshonor.com Tequila: Cabo Wabo Blanco -
