Line-ups and Albums
Sweetwater has released three studio albums according to MusicBrainz: Sweetwater (1968), Just for You (1970), and Melon (1971). Each album reflects the band’s line-up during its respective year.
For the Sweetwater album in 1968, the members active were Alan Malarowitz (1967–1970), Albert Moore (1967–1971), Alex Del Zoppo (1967–present), August Burns (1967–1971), Fred Herrera (1967–present), and Nancy Nevins (1967–present). This group constitutes the band’s roster during the recording and release year of their debut.
The Just for You album, released in 1970, saw a slightly altered line-up. This indicates that the band incorporated new personnel by the time of their second album.
Alan Malarowitz had left the band by this point.
Later members who joined in 1994—Henry Arias, Joe Bruley, and Mike Williams—are not associated with any of these studio albums according to the years listed in MusicBrainz. Their membership reflects the band’s continued activity beyond the initial album releases.
