Patrick Sweany

From Massillon, Ohio, Patrick Sweany has been giving strength to the foundation of the American music scene with a handful of full-length and EP releases since 1999. A prolific vocalist, guitarist, and banjo-player, Sweany has been able to navigate his way through the intricacies of many American musical traditions from blues to folk to bluegrass to rock to punk and beyond. A walking history book of rock and guitar music from the last century, Sweany’s personal influences meld together to give a sound that’s entirely familiar, but entirely his own—a rare combination worth experiencing.
