Band MembersSASS!--SANDY ANDINA (vocals, guitar, mt. dulcimer, bass, autoharp); SUSAN URBAN (vocals, guitar, 6-string banjo, hand percussion) ANDINA & RICH--SANDY ANDINA (vocals, guitar, mt. dulcimer); STEPHEN LEE RICH (vocals, guitar)
InfluencesJoni Mitchell, Richard Rogers, Lou & Peter Berryman, Tom Paxton, Steve Goodman, Tom Lehrer, Warren Zevon, Stan Rogers, Bruce Springsteen, Steely Dan, Richard Thompson, Anne Hills, Cindy Mangsen
Sounds LikeME! Seriously, I've been told I am the bastard child of a wild three-way between Joni Mitchell, Steve Goodman and Jerry Seinfeld; and that my voice sounds like (variously) Joan Baez, Grace Slick, Judy Collins, Mimi Farina, Peggy Seeger, Keeley Smith, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer, and Blossom Dearie. You'll love SASS! if you like Four Bitchin' Babes, the Chenille Sisters, Fink & Marxer, Lou & Peter Berryman and Hot Soup. Those who love ANDINA & RICH also tend to like the Berrymans, Reilly & Maloney and Small Potatoes.

   About Sandy Andina
I'm a singer-songwriter-humorist, performing solo and with my bands SASS! (w/Susan Urban) and Andina & Rich (w/singing, yodeling cowboy comedian Stephen Lee Rich). I play acoustic guitar (6 and 12-string), mountain dulcimer, electric bass, autoharp and 5-string frailing banjo. I'm based in Chicago, as is SASS!, and Andina & Rich are based in Madison, WI. We all tour all over the upper Midwest and beyond, and appear live on radio--perhaps we'll be in your neck of the woods! check out http://www.sandyandina.com http://www.sass-music.com http://www.andinarich.com. Find us on MySpace too: www.myspace.com/sassandthesasstrio SASS! is original classic folk--funny, serious, spiritual and even spooky at times. It features tight harmonies and multi-instrumentals (and occasionally we add Kate Early for lush three-part harmony and unusual and tasteful percussion). We've been a duo since June 2004. Our debut CD (13 songs, a full hour!) "SASS! Album One" (BWC Records) is available on CDBaby, eFolkMusic.com, iTunes and Rhapsody--as well as in folk-oriented brick-and-mortar music stores around Chicagoland. It's already gotten airplay several times on WFMT's "The Midnight Special" as well as on Radio Crystal Blue and various folk radio shows on the air and Internet. As the SASS! Trio, we officially showcased at the annual Folk Alliance conference in Memphis in 2007, and are going into the studio to record our trio EP. Andina & Rich, together off and on since 1981, is eclectic folk/comedy/country/show tunes--you name it. Stephen is Madison's Yodeling Cowboy Comedian, and we take full advantage of that. Our debut CD, "Because We Can" (Travenia Records, 2006) has been released to great reviews and has already received play on "The Midnight Special," Dr. Demento (my version of the title tune is also on his "Basement Tapes 13" CD), Wisconsin Public Radio, and even Camp Casey in Crawford, TX. The title tune got a 2006 JustPlainFolks Award nomination for Best Novelty Song. And I often perform solo as well. My CD "Ghosts and Angels" (Essay Records, 2001) has received and still receives worldwide air-and-Internet-play; due to my years as a rock band bassist, I also add thoughtfully-chosen rock and other covers to my solo repertoire which is mostly originals. I'm currently recording my followup CD, due out sometime in 2007.

Dear Friends.

I am about half way done with my latest update to my page. Come take a peek and listen to the first song from my up and comming cd. Right now the release date is in December.

A new feature I have added is you can now post your favorite song from my playlist to your profile.

My theme is fall, with the songs having a since of wanderlust.
I hope that you enjoy my pictures and songs, and you will return to my page when it's completed.

I am currently recording the other five songs and putting together the final touches.

I hope you will take the time to listen, look at my pics and post a comment (please, please, please) about your favorite song from my playlist.

Have a terrific fall, and take care
Thanks,
Jeff Moats

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks
