Sweeney is renowned for her thoroughly entertaining live shows, built over a career spanning almost 20 years and attracting fans the world over who appreciate her unique blend of contemporary stylings, attitudes and expresions layered over a backing that leans towards more traditonal arrangements.
Her latest album Married Alone was released to huge critical acclaim and widespread radio play last year. Appearing on many Best of the Year lists, Country Music People declared it “A classic” and Holler described Sweeney as “A country music fireball who mixes up a Tennessee songwriting suss with a Texas taste for trouble, she’s equally capable of mixing it up with music city’s mainstream as she is the outsiders and misfits from alt-country’s fringes.”
Produced by Paul Cauthen and The Texas Gentlemen’s Beau Bedford, Married Alone navigates heartbreak, starting over, and all the steps in between, and confirms Sweeney’s place in the pantheon of great country/Americana songwriters. Guests on the album include Cauthen and country legend Vince Gill on the emotional title track.
