Nashville vocalist/guitarist Patrick Sweany doesn’t hold back on his latest studio album, Ancient Noise. Sweany recorded the new tunes with GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer/producer Matt Ross-Spang after Ross-Spang invited Sweany to check out his new homebase at legendary Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis. The studio that Phillips had custom built in the 70s has been meticulously refurbished by the Phillips family. “Sam Phillips Recording is the best place on earth to record a rock ‘n’ roll album,” says Sweany. “I live for going into the sessions with no pre-production rehearsals with the band, we just cut the album on the floor of Studio A song-by-song.”

For the sessions, Sweany recruited longtime collaborator Ted Pecchio on bass (Doyle Bramhall II, Col. Bruce Hampton) and ex-Wilco drummer Ken Coomer both from Nashville. When Sweany needed some organ on a song, Ross-Spang got in touch with Charles Hodges, a veteran Memphis session player best known for playing with Al Green on all of his seminal records. Hodges fit in so well, he ended up on nearly every track on Ancient Noise. “Charles truly elevated the entire experience,” says Sweany. “In fact, when we met on the first day of recording, Charles led us through a prayer before we had even played a single note together. I’m not particularly religious, but I have to say that was quite the experience and really set the tone of the album. The music is refined, emotional, and I was taken out of my comfort zone many times, which leads to the magic you’re looking for when the tape is rolling.”

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed 2006 album ""CMon CMere"", Ohio native Patrick Sweany returns with a new set of rock n' soul numbers on ""Every Hour Is A Dollar Spent"". The album was engineered and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, and features 11 new Sweany-penned tunes. The album was mastered by Paul Hamman, who, along with his legendary father Kenneth, was responsible for engineering classic albums by The James Gang and Grand Funk Railroad, among others. The combination of Auerbach and Hamman takes the new album away from the Southern roots sound of Sweany's previous releases and into the classic Rust Belt rock of the 70s. Add to this Sweany's tasteful guitar work and impressive vocals (that seem to get better with each recording), and you have an album that not only sounds gorgeous, but captures the energy of Sweanys riotous live sets.

Blues-rock singer-songwriter Patrick Sweany, who transplanted to Nashville from Akron, Ohio years ago, is set to release his seventh studio album Daytime Turned To Nighttime.

Sweany: Daytime Turned To Nighttime is my seventh full-length record. I wanted this record to show some things about me that I feel I hadn’t expressed fully on the previous albums. I chose to spend the earliest part of my musical life as an acoustic finger-style guitar player. That stylistic choice has informed every part of my current musical palette, but Daytime … is the first time I feel that those early elements are featured and celebrated in the songwriting and execution.

It’s hard to say without seeming pompous and self-involved, but this is the first record where I feel that I’m doing something that shows how different I am, but connects all the influences that I’ve been building on. It is a very laid-back, “adult” record. There isn’t a “kick over the vending machine” rocker on this album. I couldn’t say the things, musically and vocally, that I’m saying in “First of the Week,” “Long Way Down,” or “Here to Stay,” unless I changed the approach.

That being said, “Back Home” is about as unhinged and raw as anything I’ve ever recorded. I could keep hollering over the changes, but I felt like the time was right to sing a little more relaxed. Bobbie Gentry’s album “Ode to Billie Joe,” Bobby Charles’s self-titled album, Tony Joe White’s singles from the ’60s-early ’70s, and singers like Brook Benton, were all big parts of the formula to make this record. I wanted something humid, and deliberate, but with an ease of movement.

I’ve spent my whole life being fascinated by the relaxed naturalness of Southern culture. I wanted to make something that showed how much the music and culture of the Southern United States of America is a part of the DNA of this transplant from Ohio. The goal is to do it in a way that doesn’t seem self-conscious, or have a “keeping up with the Jones’s” vibe, now that the south is hip again in the American viewpoint. The hope is that you achieve that goal in some form.

Patrick Sweany - 2 albums: C'mon C'mere / Henryfordbedroom

On a given night (or on a given album) he'll swing through blues, folk, soul, bluegrass, maybe some classic 50s rock, or a punk speedball. He's 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 isn't his ability to copy - it's his authenticity. Like his heroes, artists like Bobby "Blue" Bland, Doug Sahm, Joe Tex, Patrick somehow manages to blend all of these influences into something all his own. It's no wonder that as a kid he immersed himself in his dad's extensive record collection: 60s folk, vintage country, soul, and, of course, blues. Patrick spent hours teaching himself to fingerpick along to Leadbelly, Lightnin' Hopkins, and other folk-blues giants.

In his late teens, Patrick began playing the clubs and coffeehouses around Kent, OH. He quickly gained a reputation for the intricate country blues style he was developing: part Piedmont picking, part Delta slide - with an equally impressive deep, smooth vocal style. But Patrick wouldn't stay in the acoustic world for long. His love of 50s era soul and rock fused with the adrenaline-soaked garage punk revival happening throughout the Rust Belt pushed him to form a band. After 6 critically acclaimed records (two produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys), Patrick has expanded his touring radius to 49 states and 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 on tour.
