My Sweet Patootie

An acoustic roots group from rural Ontario bringing twining vocal harmonies, monstrous finger-style guitar, fiddle, percussion and abundant charisma together in one perfect package. Complete with tall tales and corny jokes, My Sweet Patootie delivers a show that Driftwood Magazine describes as "two parts exemplary musicianship, one part vaudeville comedy".

Terry Young, Sandra Swannell and Bradford Nowak are skilled performers using a ditzy-like-a-fox approach to their craft. Their upbeat show is a carnival ride with good-time finger-snapping tunes and carefully placed heartfelt ballads. Their vintage-style song writing is rooted in folk and Americana but heavily influenced by the likes of Chet Atkins, Les Paul & Mary Ford and the Andrews Sisters. Throw in a penchant for light-hearted satire and their love of artists like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams and you get a sound that Young likes to call "Green Acres for the New Millennium".
