About the Mail:
As you might imagine, we’ve suddenly gotten TONS of e-mail!
All of your e-mail is being read
carefully at this time by the actual band members.
Many ask similar questions about various subjects.
We will try to answer these as clearly as possible.
We’d like to personally respond to all of you,
but with our band schedule, we’re finding it a
bit difficult at this time.

Tour Schedule:
The Woodstock stuff:
Who sang it Now:
Ritchie Havens was the first performer to play at Woodstock ’69,
but Sweetwater was the first BAND to play at Woodstock ’69.
“Motherless Child,” is a traditional blues song, interpreted over
the years by many performers in different ways. Nancy actually sang
her version of it before she even met the other members of the band
that would become Sweewater . . .just like in the movie! The 1st
Sweetwater album from 1968 included this song. Ritchie Havens
after being told repeatedly to return to the Woodstock ‘69 stage
to “kill more time” (poor guy!) started adding lyrics from this old
song to his “freedom” song, confusing some people who write us asking
who was first to sing “it!”
The original Sweetwater albums released from ’68 thru ’72 are collector’s items,
available on vinyl from their original manufacturer: Warner Brothers/reprise.
They can now be found in several re-released formats: See DISCOGRAPHY PAGE.
It is also a collector’s item and
is not available on CD at this time.
For upcoming Sweetwater Touring schedule, bookmark the Sweetwater
website and stay tuned!
Sweetwater does not appear in the original Woodstock movie, mostly because of
the fallout from Nancy’s accident, but our live at Woodstock music
can be found on various Woodstock compilations throughout the years.
In the Sweetwater movie Amy Jo sings to original Sweetwater music tracks,
while Michele Phillips lip-synchs to Nancy’s present day vocal of
“Motherless Child.”
