The Sweeney Rebellion offers a great mix of cover tunes, originals, and a few sing-along songs that make for a great time for everyone. Although rooted in country, classic rock, and alternative, we love music from all genres.
We play most types of events. House parties, festivals, corporate events, and wherever else.
As our reviews say, we're nice, easy to work with, fair and professional.
Shawn did a great job.
We had a great time partying with the band. They accommodated requests including leading us in a singalong on a song they learned on the fly.
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
You threw an awesome birthday party for your wife and we are grateful to have been a part of it. You have a beautiful home, and it was filled with great people. Thank you for your hospitality and for the great memories. I really hope to see you again.
We hosted an outdoor post wedding celebration and hired The Sweeney Rebellion to play during cocktail hour and dinner. First of all they sounded amazing! I wished they played all night but per bride's request, we also hired a DJ. They were easy to work with, communicative and respected our requests. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were fun and engaging with the crowd.
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
Thank you for such kind words. You and your entire crew were awesome and I’d come back anytime.
Hired them for a local fundraising event and they were perfect - great vocals, music selection, and easy to work with. Definitely will be reaching out to them in the future for future events!
The Sweeney Rebellion came ready to rock the hub! Easy going, friendly and professional guys. Played a great mix of music. Super talented! We'll have them back again and will definitely refer them to everyone we know!
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
Thank you so much! We had a great time and we look forward to coming back! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming.
What a great party! Sweeney rebellion was awesome! Very sociable, music was great! We even had them play for extra hour ..we will definitely have them back again. I'm sure one the managers for a bar will be in contact to have them play. Thanks so much guys!
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
We had an amazing time and it was a pleasure meeting everyone. Can’t wait to come play again. Thank you for your hospitality. You all rock. Looking forward to Cumberland!
These guys were awesome - everyone loved them. Perfect mix of crowd interaction, relaxed vibe, great sound. Will be booking them again.
My husband and I host a Labor Day party every year. The Sweeney Rebellion was the perfect addition.
From the start, Responses we’re quick and they were able to accommodate our short notice request.
Both members were professional , they arrived on time, and provided our guest with extraordinary entertainment.
Will definitely book again. Thanks again guys !
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
I am so happy that you had a great birthday party and we are both thankful to have been a part of it. You have a beautiful home and a beautiful family. We had a great time! I hope we all get to hang again sometime. Until then, we wish you and your family the very best!
Thank you, Shawn and Shae! Booked last minute, but you knocked it out of the park! Loved everything about this evening!
Would highly recommend The Sweeney Rebellion! They are easy to work and have a great sound.

The Sweeney Rebellion played for my wife’s 40th birthday. He did an amazing job, kept the party poppin into the night. Great mix of music and very talented. 10/10 would book again!
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
Mike, what a great time. I had a blast and would absolutely love to do it again. I am going to work on learning a couple of songs that seem to be crowd favorites with your crew, so I have them in my repertoire next time. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I appreciate everything, including this review. Hope to see you all again soon.

Shawn and his team were professional and exactly what I was looking for when needing live music for a small cocktail party! Highly recommend! 👏🏻
Response from The Sweeney Rebellion:
We had a blast. Thank you again for having us. We would love to work with you again.
We cannot say enough good things about The Sweeney Rebellion. He was an awesome performer but more than that he was flexible, accommodating, and professional. He played throughout the night and we are still getting compliments from our guests about how fun it was to have him at our event. We will definitely be asking him to play again!!!
We had The Sweeney Rebellion perform for our soft opening for a new restaurant. They were absolutely amazing keeping our guest entertained. Completely professional from beginning to end. Thank you so much, we look forward to working with you again at Wendelin 2.0

They were nice , down to earth and professional . I would highly recommend them and would hire them again for another event . Thanks again for making my husband’s surprise 50th Birthday party a great time .
Thanks so much,

You can expect good vibes and good times—two professional musicians with an excellent reputation for being talented, easy to work with, and responsive. We like to be an hour or two early to get acquainted and set up. We sometimes take a short break about halfway through. We are open to requests if we know them. If allowed enough time before the event, we are also open to learning any special song requests. We can't always guarantee this but we do our best. At the end of the evening, we always clean up after ourselves and leave the place the way we found it.
The Sweeney Rebellion is an acoustic duo, formed in 2016 in Middletown, Ohio. Shawn Sweeney has been playing around the tri-state area since the early 2000's. Through the friendship of their daughters, they eventually met and started jamming together weekly, and eventually decided to join together and what a great decision that turned out to be. With the use of a loop pedal, vocal harmony pedal, and acoustic guitar, Shawn Sweeney sets up the rhythms and beats in various ways. Kjell (pronounced Shale) Ogden has an active stage presence and knows how to blend perfectly on the bass guitar.
The Sweeney Rebellion is looking forward to each and every show and is trying to build a real good name in the live entertainment world. Please be sure to check out the reviews from previous shows.
We prefer to bring our own equipment and run our own sound. All we need are power outlets and place to play.
