| MY SWEET PATOOTIE Armed with fiddle, finger-style guitar and two voices, My Sweet Patootie is an old-fashioned shotgun wedding of cool uptown swing and rural Ontario grit. Terry Young (guitar, vocals) and Sandra Swannell (fiddle, vocals) met as soloists touring and recording with veteran Canadian roots-group Tanglefoot. They soon discovered a mutual love of big bands and swinging country blues and merged to share their music which they promise to be "more fun than drinking martinis at a tractor pull!" Doors open at 7 pm. General admission; $10, $8 advance & members. Get tickets at South Haven Art Center, 800.838.3006, www.foundryhall.com, or at the door after 7 pm.
