Happy birthday to the one and only Sierra Swan! She toured with The Smashing Pumpkins in 2016 and has provided backing vocals for the CYR album as well as the upcoming 33-song album.
Swan met Billy Corgan not long after she released her debut solo album, Ladyland, in 2006. She was doing live work at Linda Perry's studio (producer of Ladyland), who was at the time working with Courtney Love, when Corgan came over to listen to her sing. Perry wrote of the sessions: "Beautiful, erotic, mesmerizing is everything that comes to mind when listening to Sierra Swan. Her voice will take you on an emotional journey." Swan and Corgan became good friends and briefly dated each other.
Swan first joined Corgan on stage at the final Spirits in the Sky show on October 31, 2009. On February 25, 2014, she released her album Good Soldier, which was produced by Corgan. Corgan later recalled, "There were a lot of reasons for me deciding to work with Sierra, but one of the biggest is her sheer talent. Quite simply, she has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard."
Sierra Swan is the daughter of of 1970s country and pop musician Billy Swan. Her career started with her band Dollshead, and later she was a member of Black Eyed Peas. She has also toured and collaborated with Dave Stewart, Ringo Starr, and Frank Black. She has released four studio albums: Ladyland (2006), Queen of the Valley (released on this day in 2008), Girl Who Cried Wolf (2009) and Good Soldier (2014). She has also released three EPs: Coward (2007), The Sun Sessions (2011) and 2021's Tangerines. Tangerines featured the title track single, "I Want All of My Shit Back" and "To the Moon". The track "Peach" was written by Corgan. Last summer, the duo along with Hillary Williams collaborated on a as-yet unreleased country/bluegrass record.
