Biography:

My Sweet Patootie embraces the fun that makes live music so intoxicating. With a sly wink and a grin, they draw you into a world of carnival barkers and nostalgic romantics and make you feel like you're a part of it. It's a nonstop joyous escape in song and humor with tones of vintage swing, country blues, folk and ragtime performed with instrumental virtuosity and evocative close-harmony vocals.

This dynamic trio is comprised of singer Sandra Swannell on swing fiddle, zany drummer Paul Clifford on junkyard percussion, and singer Terry Young, who's flashy fingerpicking functions simultaneously as the group’s guitar and bass.

Press:

“When they perform they bring an act that's two parts exemplary musicianship and one part vaudeville comedy.”
Driftwood Magazine

"Patootified!" takes elements of western swing and old timey music that updates the flapper feel and gives it a real twenty first century pizazz. Young And Swannell hit you with a delightful album with a hundred years in it's soul.
FATEA Magazine UK

"The duo are forever spot-on: the Hot-Club-style ambience of their playing is both hightly persuasive and very attractive,and as if that weren't enough both singers are darned brilliant."

““Lots to like here, o' you tavern trawlers and moon-eyed hipsters, lots to like.””
Folk Acoustic Music Exchange

““These were musicians embracing the fun that makes music one of the greatest forces in our lives, even interspersing Flight of the Bumblebee or Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy into their own tunes. What impressed me most was just watching the two of them happily lose themselves in the music, then letting the audience in on their many lyrical gags with a sly wink and a grin that lets you feel an equal part of the whole thing. ””
Aaron Stewart - "Keeps Me Alive" Online forum

"So much fun that you'd be a committed sourpuss to take any offence."
