ABOUT DON SWEENEY
Born and raised in New York City (Queens, Long Island), Don Sweeney always had the bug of video within him. For as far back as we can remember, Don has had some sort of camera with him whether it is a Super8mm, VHS video or HD video camera to cover events of life from parties, sports events, trips around the world, to documentaries, biographies, music videos, interviews, television shows, and whatever other project steps in front of Don's camera.
Relocating to Los Angeles in 1973 and landing a full-time job at The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson in 1975, he managed to stay there for twenty years starting out as a production assistant and working his way up to Assistant Musical Conductor. When Johnny Carson stepped down as host of The Tonight Show, comedian Jay Leno took over the spot as it became The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Don Sweeney was once asked to stay on as Music Supervisor for NBC Productions and stayed there until 1995.
In 1981 he formed his own band called the SRO Band specializing in music for all occasions and ranging in size from a trio to a full seventeen piece big band. Over the years the band played for Johnny Carson, Ray Charles, and Frank Sinatra, to name a few.
