This week we sat down with our New Old Friend Big Sandy. He is a singer-songwriter based in Orange County, CA. He is one of the pioneers in the rockabilly culture and an overall awesome guy. In this episode we went over how the name Big Sandy came to be, how he got into music, touring around the world, and opening for Morrissey. Sandy also talks about adapting with the times and creating something new and exciting during the Covid-19 pandemic. Mikey and I are still in shock that Big Sandy took the time out of his day to come and talk to us. It just shows how incredible he is and we wish him all the best on his projects. We can’t wait to see him on stage in the near future.
