Sandy Atkinson

Sandy began singing in school and church events when she was 5.   When she was 14, her Mom gave her a guitar and she started writing songs.  From there her love of music grew and blossomed when she came to Florida in 1994.  She met some great musicians that liked her songs and released her first CD in 1995.   Her 6th, was released in December 2011 titled "Collection."  

She performs solo or duo, but prefers the full band.  She has played venues and festivals in the US & Norway including House of Blues-Orlando, Rib Fest - St. Petersburg,  Women\'s Blues Fest-NC, Sarasota Blues Festival-Sarasota, Hell Blues Fest - Norway and the Muddy Waters Blues club in Oslo.

Influences include Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Mahalia Jackson, Etta James, Joplin, and Elvis.
