Swamp Records
Swamp Records is a Gainesville-based, artist resource, organization, and independent record label run entirely by students from the University of Florida. We offer marketing, PR, advertising, and booking services to musicians and bands in the Central Florida area while providing hands-on experience for students pursuing careers within the music industry. In addition, Swamp Records creates opportunities for artists to make connections in the music industry and perform through the multiple events we organize every year. Our immediate goal is to support and promote our artists, but as an organization dedicated to enhancing the local landscape, our broader goal is to bridge the gap between the Gainesville and University of Florida music scenes. In everything we do, we aim to create a central hub for music networking and collaboration in our area.
