Emotions, Colour, and Passion
Marc Sway epitomises emotions, colour, and passion on stage. Whether it's Soul, Pop, or Latin – his music fuses these genres into a soundscape that both touches and excites. After celebrated performances at the Baloise Session and the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Zurich native brought his energetic live show to Obwalden. Even beforehand, he was in high spirits: The journey to Sarnen felt like a 'homecoming' to him. He is often found at Melchsee-Frutt.
Music, Charm, and Humour
The concert offered top-notch entertainment: Marc Sway effortlessly thrilled the diverse audience – not only with his distinctive music but also with plenty of charm and humour. The band opened the evening with the well-known hit 'Beat Of My Heart' from 2019. By then, the audience was wide awake, singing along and clapping enthusiastically in rhythm. For an hour and a half, the eight-member band delivered a powerful performance. The captivating sound, the palpable joy of playing, and Sway’s stage presence made the evening an impressive live experience.
