My Sweet Patootie is a nonstop neo-vaudevillian stage show from Canada that features virtuosic musicianship, uncompromising vocal harmonies and humorous storytelling. It’s new music with an old soul, echoing vintage swing, blues, folk and ragtime - a unique musical experience that transcends the borders of the acoustic genre, promising to entertain music lovers of all kinds.
 
This dynamic trio features singer Sandra Swannell on swing fiddle, drummers Paul Clifford (North America) and John Jackson (UK) on ricky-tick percussion, and singer Terry Young who, with his stunning fingerstyle guitar work, functions simultaneously as the group’s guitar and bass player.
 
Founded in 2007 by Canadian Folk Music Award winners Swannell and Young, the trio has always strived to create memorable, uplifting performances with high quality musicianship and family-friendly fun. The band has released 4 full-length albums and tours regularly across Canada and USA. In autumn 2018 they return to the UK for their eighth tour, running from late August to early October.

Spoken word by Richard-Yves Sitoski and indie folk by Deep Blue Honey.
