Singer-songwriter and producer Sandy Greenfield grew up amidst the wild pines of the Monterey Peninsula, where he learned to assimilate the sounds of the trees and of the sea into the soundhole of his acoustic guitar. Sandy strives to inject heart and soul into his music, which he dubs 'Power-Folk'---think of the raw power of a Van Morrison coupled with the pop stylings of a David Gray. 'Singer-songwriter music with a rocking, dangerous edge and a hip-hop backbeat' is how one critic described his music. Sandy has spent the last 10 odd years in the studio, recording and producing a variety of music besides his own. He rarely sees the light of day so please come see him when he occasionally emerges wild-eyed and slightly deranged from the depths of his studio to perform for the public.
Sandy Greenfield writes, records, mixes and masters his own music at the recording studio he helps manage in the Bay Area. He doesn't autotune anything, and he feels that the power of music lies in its authenticity rather than in its polished veneer. Although he fully embraces the digital recording technology which allows for such polish, he fears that content can often be sacrificed for image, and that listeners can be fooled by such digitial manipulations. The true test is the live show, and in this domain Sandy tries to kick some serious ass.
Sandy Greenfield is also a freelance recording engineer/producer, who has recorded, mixed and mastered everything from neo-folk (Aoife O'Donovan, Crooked Still) to cello-rock (Rushad Eggleston, Fiddlers Four) to hip-hop (Mistah F.A.B) to Yiddish folk (Michael Alpert) to singer-songwriters (Chris Ayer) to Zen Buddhist and Taoist chants. Please contact him if you are interested in studio time or having your project mixed and mastered.
Singer-songwriter and producer Sandy Greenfield strives to inject heart and soul into his music, which he dubs 'Power-Folk', or 'SG folk hip hop with a spark o' soul' as he sings in 'Cold Winter', a track from his first album 'Asklng If'. Also it is singer-songwriter rock music, pure and simple. Sandy has spent the last 10 odd years in the studio perfecting his craft, recording and producing a variety of music besides his own. Sandy Greenfield is currently playing live around the Bay Area, please come out and show your support for a nearly starving artist.
