I have begun putting a new band together with a great Singer/Guitarist, Steve Dibble, or better known as Doc! We got together on Tuesday evening and ran over a set list of sorts, and sat down to play a few tunes over a beer. We had a great time coming up with some great tunes. This band will be one for the books as it will ROCK and MELT your face off. As more transpires I will update you!
In other areas, I'm working on getting my new CD finished. I still haven't decided on a title or cover art for it yet. I think this CD will be my best work yet. I'm probably going to do about 30% instrumentals on this release as I have had mucho requests for more. I'm working on releasing a new version Jimi Hendrix' 'Little Wing'... I just have to handle the licensing. Other highlights for the CD... well... I don't want to give too much away, but it will be very diverse in the sounds... as I like to be.
Wrapping up: I have a TV show booked for the first Wednesday April 2nd. This will be aired on Comcast Public access channels as 'Showcase... the best of the SF Bay Area'. It will have approximately 6 tunes in the video. So, tune in and hang on... it will be a blast. I am looking forward to this spring and summer season with the new band... we will be jamming originals for sure. When I get gig dates, I will keep you posted.

Ta ta for now!
Stu

When Stu Sweatman was a wee little one he found out very soon that he wanted to do Music for a Heart and Soul life time pursuit... nothing else would do! Coming from a family where everyone around him played at least one instrument incredibly well, he was tickling ivorys at the meager age of 2, and a mother in the next room with perfect pitch telling him how to do it.
By the time he was fourteen, he was playing drums in a local act, and giggin' the local venues. Piano and drums were a precursor for his true calling, Guitar... and ultimately vocals. With influences like The Beatles, Nickleback, Kurt Cobain, Vanhalen, Gin Blossoms, Sting, Steve Vai, Creed, and Bonnie Raitt to name but a few, and playing in National Acts such as Urgency, Avatar, Little Bridgette, The Boogers, and Saving Grace, his ecclectic style makes his uniques sound and style worth listening too.
Today Stu is an accomplished and well rounded musician playing venues for local to national acts, Jamming with, and supplying his talented hand to much session work including commercials and big name people such as: No Nation(Ross Valory(Journey), Mike Pinder(Moody Blues), Jon Anderson(YES), Stef Burns(Huey Lewis), Jeff Tamelier(Tower of Power), Eddie Ulibarri(Alexis), John Hernandez, Stevie Roseman, Tom Size(Steve Miller)); The Pinder Brothers; Avatar; Victor Agnello(Laaz Rokit), John Lee Hooker, and Zakk Wylde to name a few.
Also, Stu Sweatman is an accomplished writer Publishing several books along the way including, ModeJamm and ModeMaps, and Selling several songs that are being used in Movies, commercials, and Televsion programs.
He is currently working on many projects... including his next solo project which has alot of new material on it. Current Projects include: Stu Sweatman band(Ontario), subbing in No Nation, and THIS DAY IN ROCK!
