He rose to prominence in the late 90’s and later formed the trio, The Patrick Sweany Band, featuring Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys among a revolving cast of musicians. He signed with Nine Mile Records in 2006, to release C’mon C’Mere - - the first of six albums on the label (two produced by Auerbach). Sweany spends a great deal of time on the road, having played 48 states and much of Europe. He’s played premiere festivals (Newport Folk Fest, Merlefest, Montreal Jazz Fest, Telluride Blues & Brews) and supported international acts such as The Black Keys, The Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Wood Brothers, Hot Tuna and others.
