Sweet Undertow Band

Sweet Undertow’s Americana blues flecked with hard rock and old-timey folk in places conjures Johnny Cash, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Tom Waits. The songs delve deep into the human condition through metaphor and memory yet are equally just a hella good time. “There’s songs about love, lust, death, lonesomeness, and anger,” says Eddy. “I try to create moods and paint with lyrics, trying to evoke images in peoples’ minds. But also, y’know, shake their asses.”

Sweet Undertow’s play-all-night excellence has delighted crowds from coast-to-coast in America as well as throughout Europe and Asia, combining brilliant original songs and creative re-imaginings of old favorites with towering stage-presence.
