Bio / Background
'Breaking the Awkward Silence' is the first solo release for journeyman guitarist, singer, songwriter Brad Sweitzer.
Here are twelve well-crafted and highly listenable original songs - where the lyrics and vocals are just as important as the chord changes and guitar phrases.
Brad showcases his unique style - blending straight forward rock 'n roll with blues, country, soul, and even funk.
There's a lot of variety on this CD - opening with 'I Don't Really Care' - almost a rockabilly tune. 'Work the Mile' has a "Creedence" bayou feel in the music. 'Bursting with Things to Say' is more acoustic and brooding - reminiscent of REM. 'Holiday for Two' flat out rocks with great lyrics and harmony - rather like The Eagles. 'Kilroy' is funky and bluesy - Stevie Ray could have done this one. 'I've Had Enough' has a Dire Straits quality. 'The Healing of Time' has a Tom Petty feel. 'It's Only People' has a great classic rock feel - and a tongue in cheek message you can dance to.
