Sweet Earth
Bio

Sweet Earth is a band unlike any other on scene. They have been setting the bar in Jam Music Community in Pittsburgh, holding it down as #1 on the Jam Charts on Reverb Nation for Pittsburgh for over 3 Months in a row. In the last year Sweet Earth has completely transformed everybody's idea of what can be achieved when enough positive energy and hard work is put into something unique and original, in such a small amount of time.

In addition an extensive list local showcases, Sweet Earth has been found blowing up the East Coast at Festivals and Venues alike, and joing forces with some of the greatest Music Acts in the Nation. Sweet Earth has directly supported National Acts including Toubab Krewe, The Werks, Papadosio and Yo Mamma's Big Fat Booty Band.

Recent shows have also brought them through different parts of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.
--------

The four piece Instrumental/Progressive/Funk/Jam/Fusion Band based out of Pittsburgh, is always writing brand new material and pushing their musical boundaries, learning and incorporating new instruments and technology in every new song.
Utilizing their refined skills as multi-instrumentalists, the band members can be found switching places and instruments during fully improvised sessions, and in between songs. The band seems to transform on stage throughout the course of a show, and it will likely look completely different at the end than it did in the beginning, making every performance a completely unique musical experiment unto itself.
