Patrick Sweany first gained prominence in the late 1990s as an acoustic blues guitarist and singer at many Blues Festivals around the U.S. His first CD ‘I Wanna Tell You’ was released in 1999 and drew critical acclaim from prominent musicians such as Roy Book Binder and Jimmy Thackery. In 2001, Patrick formed an electric trio called simply The Patrick Sweany Band. The band includes drummer Clint Alguire, and has featured a revolving cast of baritone guitarists, including Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys, Ted Pecchio currently of Col. Bruce Hampton’s The Codetalkers, and Jon Finley. In 2006, Patrick signed with Nine Mile Records to release ‘C’mon C’mere’. The CD was co-produced by Dan Auerbach and Jimbo Mathus from Squirrel Nut Zippers and incorporated country music, soul music and 50s era rock and roll into his already potent electric blues stylings.
This is the London date of a short tour of the UK that includes an appearance at Carlisle Blues Festival.
“His music has a loose, aggresive edge, but in his quiter moments, Sweany recalls the supple beauty of Ry Cooder’s 70s readings of Depression-era pop blues.” - MOJO (UK) “New Blues Explosion!”
