   About Sweetwater Abilene
Sweetwater Abilene is the sound of ugly things trying to be pretty. Formed back in 2001 while lead singer J.R. Top was reading a book about folk music, Sweetwater Abilene strives to make it's own music while being for the people. SWA has been through many changes over it's seven year history, starting out with folk, and then adding a lot of garage rock to it. Sweetwater Abilene has played with a diverse range of other bands such as - Hello Stranger, The Cinematics, The Meat Purveyors, American Music Club , Jack Oblivion and the Tennessee Tear Jerkers, and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - and makes it work. So if you feel like dancing and crying at the same time, check it out and give it a whirl.

Thanks for accepting our add!  I'd love to hear your thoughts on if a new venue in Springfield would work and what we would need to do and who we need to know to make it happen.

Best Wishes
