In the spring of 2003, the band released their first CD project "Rough Edges" which has become a hit with their growing cadre of fans.In 2017 they released their 20th Anniversary Live cd.

"The Swinging Bridge Band has developed into the best band to come out of the Southwest Florida area in recent memory. Their great lead singing, tight harmonies, dazzling instrumental breaks, and dead-on timing puts them on a par with some of the foremost nationally known bands. The band has a great on-stage personality. They make the audience feel that they are included in the fun the band is having on stage. They have a repertoire of songs and instrumentals that draws from traditional and contemporary Bluegrass, Classic Country, and other genres to create a show that is a treat for any bluegrass fan." - Herb Washburn, President, Southwest Florida Bluegrass Association.
