My Sweet Patootie - "Musical mayhem expertly played and executed by two outstanding musicians…good humoured and quirky songs." (Shining Friends Roots Music, England)

Since 1999, their dazzling solos and joy of live performance have brought fans from Canada, the US and England to their feet at Tanglefoot shows (CFMA "Best Vocal Group" 2007). Today as My Sweet Patootie, Terry Young and Sandra Swannell embrace a forgotten brand of showmanship that's "two parts exemplary musicianship and one part vaudeville comedy." (Driftwood Magazine)

Their clever, off-center original songs have "elements of western swing and old-time music that updates the flapper feel and gives it a real twenty first century pizazz... a delightful sound with a hundred years in it's soul." (FATEA Magazine)

Sandra Swannell's rich alto voice has been described as "hot buttered rum". She is a classically trained violinist/ violist, but her style owes much more to Folk, Jazz and Blues. Her diverse musical background ranges from recording with Canada's legendary Stompin' Tom Connors to writing a series of musical sketches for string orchestra. Sandra was the principal violist of the Georgian Bay Symphony, and fronted the Celtic art-rock band, The Shards before joining Tanglefoot in 2005.

Terry Young's tremendous dexterity and aggressive approach to finger-style guitar has been described as "virtuosic" by BBC critic James Harrox, and "jaw dropping" by the Folk & Music Exchange. During his Tanglefoot years, he gained a reputation as a talented multi-instrumentalist; performing on guitar, mandolin, banjo, and whistles. Terry is also a classically trained tenor and holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Western Ontario.

As My Sweet Patootie, Terry and Sandra have been forging a solid reputation for delivering polished, completely entertaining and memorable live concerts. In October 2011, they were awarded a showcase by the Manitoba Arts Network.
