Sweat

Pittsburgh- based Swiss-American quartet, Sweat. After leaving her home in Basel with a hungry heart for authentic vintage rock, it didn’t take long for vocalist/organist Sue Pedrazzi to settle into her new home alongside Steel City gemstones; Richard Stanley (Rich the Band), Dan Hernandez (Limousine Beach, Cruces) and a male drummer. Together, the foursome formed Sweat in 2019; a traditional band with fresh and energetic new ideas that set out an attractive stall for fans of British prog rock sensibilities, fragile American folk and heaps of 70s schmaltz. During the pandemic in 2020 their drummer left and was replaced by Kayla Schureman (Century III). Drawing influence from the likes of Deep Purple and The Moody Blues, the strutting beat of The Who, and the wailing highs and broken lows of Heart. Their singer Susan Pedrazzi is often compared to Grace Slick too.
