With his dark shades and his pork pie hat, at the age of six (that's 42 in people years), he's been around long enough to have paid his dues.

Artist History After wandering the streets of Chicago (and crossing way too many busy ones by himself), Sweetpotato Sweeney was adopted by a kind fellow who had lots of musical instuments lying around. Having developed an opposable thumb, due to an unfortunate incident with an alley cat, Sweetpotato displayed an uncanny aptitude for the guitar. Apparently, this is unusual for canines. They tend to lean more towards the trumpet, which is easier to pick up and carry around in one's mouth. Nevertheless, Sweetpotato, having had public radio shoved down his gullet for most of his life, developed a taste for the blues and we hope that you enjoy his first single..
