Chris Sand (Sandman the Rappin’ Cowboy) with Ian Smith and Grace Decker

Chris Sand (AKA “Sandman The Rappin’ Cowboy”) has traversed the blue highways and gravel backroads of the USA for over two decades, performing his unique blend of folk, punk, hip hop, and cowboy music in basements, living rooms, barns, performance halls, and dive bars along the way. Dubbed by Punk Planet in 2003 as “our Troubadour for the 21st Century,” Sand continues his ride with a couple new albums scheduled for release in 2021. Performing now with Ian Smith and Grace Decker, Sand has found true musical siblings in arms; their shows crystallize into a lyrical scrapbook of life lived in the flow of creativity under the great shadow of American discontent. Across frozen ground and disappearing daylight, humor, hope, and grit abide.
