Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze

About Me


Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze—a Chicago-style boogie and blues band was formed by Wally “Sweet Daddy” Greaney in 1990. Through the years Sweet Daddy has developed a loyal European following in Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Austria. Back home, the band tours regularly up and down the East Coast. With the release of their fourth CD titled "Back For More" Sweet Daddy looks forward to continuing to work at a successful Blues career which has already spanned over twenty years. He’s recorded with the likes of Matt “Guitar” Murphy from the Blues Brothers, Jaimoe, drummer for the Allman Brothers, Ken Johnson drummer for James Cotton. Most recently, Wally has worked with John Kay (of Steppenwolf fame) recording a DVD that was released on Rainman Records in June of 2004 titled John Kay & Friends. "Live At The Renaissance Center" more info at www.steppenwolf.com .He’s also shared the stage with blues legends Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, KoKo Taylor, Junior Wells, Taj Mahal, Debbie Davies, Savoy Brown, Eddy Shaw and BO Diddlie . Sweet Daddy's smoking lead vocals, full-bodied harmonica, and soulful saxophone along with Mark Easton's burning gutiar and a rhythm section with Barry Easton and Eddy Humber that groove's like mad. It all adds up to an unprecedented high energy Blues show that few bands can match. It’s only a matter of time until people in cities and towns across America repeat the words spoken by the eighty-year-old trucker whose phrase gave rise to the bands name: “Lawd have mercy, Sweet Daddy Cool Breeze is in town!”
