About Sandi (Generally Speaking)
Sandi stepped out from behind the drum-set and out of her comfort zone officially in 2013. Her solo loop/ singing/ guitar show combines percussive acoustic guitar pop covers ranging from current to the classics, pleasing a crowd of any size that spans many generations. Her original compositions display clever insightful lyrics that just about anyone could relate to. Sandi is no stranger to the stage and she loves to take requests and interact with the audience. Using a loop pedal to accompany, she could create 3 part vocal harmonies, add in bass lines and take an occasional guitar solo at the drop of a hat.
