New Sweat is a versatile force of live music and have become veterans of the Raleigh live music scene. They can work a quiet room with melodic, harmony-rich folk from the back porch, or crank out dynamic grooves and jams as a full band that will keep any crowd moving. Mixing roots-rock classics with their road-worn original songs, New Sweat transcends the bar-band trappings with a free-flowing setlist and turns the place into a raucous juke joint.
