Patrick Sweany

About this event

---

On a given night (or on a given album) hell swing through blues, folk, soul, bluegrass, maybe some classic 50s rock, or a punk speedball. Hes a musical omnivore, devouring every popular music sound of the last 70 years, and mixing em all together seamlessly into his own stew. Yet, the one thing that most people notice about Patrick isnt his ability to copy its his authenticity. Like his heroes, folks like Bobby Blue Bland, Eddie Hinton, Doug Sahm, Ray Charles, Patrick somehow manages to blend all of these influences into something all his own. His latest record, That Old Southern Drag, hits the streets February 15, 2011. It was recorded to 2 tape in Nasheville, TN (Patricks new home) and features contributions from Joe McMahan (Allsion Moorer, Webb Wilder, Mike Farris), Scott McEwan (Tarbox Ramblers), Tim Marks (Will Kimbrough, Taylor Swift), and Chris West (The Dynamites), among others. Southern Drag expands Patricks roots music palette without losing his signature Deep Blues sound.
