Sandy is a musician who builds entire worlds from the low end up. A double bassist by training, she brings a warm, resonant foundation to every project she touches. Her playing can be heard on Jeff Evans Porkestra’s album Porkestra, where she anchors the track “Lost Dogs” with her signature tone. She frequently performs with the Porkestra at the Star Bar in Little Five Points, GA, as well as other stages throughout Atlanta.
In 2023, Sandy expanded her performance footprint as a member of the Gin Joint Rascals, appearing at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, Napoleon’s, and the Roadmaster Stage in Black Mountain, NC. These experiences deepened her connection to roots‑influenced music and strengthened her presence as a live performer.

Her performances often feature ghost‑note textures, subtle melodic movement, and lyrics steeped in sensory detail and emotional honesty. While the double bass remains her primary instrument, she is also learning electric guitar and bass uke to bring her music into more portable, flexible settings.
Whether on stage or in the studio, Sandy’s work is defined by authenticity, groove, and a deep commitment to craft. She invites listeners into a world where the bass doesn’t just support the story—it tells it.
