Sweetbriar ARTIST ID: 15965

At first glance, Sweetbriar is a throwback to old school "bar band" such as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, or the Black Crowes. Their roots lie in the blues, rock, and soul persuasions and as a group they wear their influences heavily on their sleeves. A vocal force to be reckoned with, Sweetbriar relishes in four-part harmonies led by the soulful mastery of singer Stephen Drolshagen. Coupled with the raunchy guitar lines of Jon Drolshagen and John Byrnes, the band creates a sound saturated by good times and Rock & Roll. At their heart, the tasteful flavorings of Matt Coppock on drums and the thumping bass rhythms of Dan Brandao keep the crowd going long into the night. The band's blistering stage performances are geared towards leaving audiences buzzing, overwhelmed, and singing along to every word. Everywhere they go, Sweetbriar is a band simply trying to remind ordinary folks that Rock & Roll is and always will be music that will fill your soul and move your feet.
