Sandi Thom is a free spirited, highly loving old soul born to make music. Sandi's sound is one very unique in nature, and stands out above the commercialized crowd of the music industry today. "Sandi Thom grew up in Macduff, a little fishing village on the north-east coast of Scotland. First learning to play the piano by the age of four, Sandi had begun her musical journey. By fourteen Sandi was playing in covers band called The Residents, travelling to bars, weddings and parties. She later went on to study at the Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts, where she met her tour manager Lizzie Brown, guitarist Marcus Bonfanti, and her percussionist Craig Connet. In the years that followed, Sandi sang in a gospel choir, formed a variety of bands, landed a publishing deal, wrote hundreds of songs, and worked as a session singer – which is how she met her producers Jake Field and Duncan Thompson."

Sandi's first bout of major success stems from her phenomenal song "I wish I was a Punk Rocker(with flowers in my hair)." This song skyrocketed the charts to number one in the U.K. and went on to be a world wide hit. Backed with simple percussive beats, Sandi's "I wish I was a Punk Rocker(with flowers in my hair)" sends a very direct message of a worlds view that she doesn't fit into. Reverting back to simpler times, this song depicts how the world makes life more difficult than it needs to be. Her vocals on this track are phenomenal. With just a few percussive beats of maracas, tambourine, hand claps, and a simple bass drum to back her up, Sandi's vocals carry this tune, almost a Capella. Very worthy tune to share with your friends.
Sandi's Song "Ungrateful Heart" opens with an acoustic guitar, a violin, and her outstanding vocals. Sandi sings this tune in a way that touches the heart. This song depicts the very outcome of what can happen if you make rash decisions, when you are hurt. This song tells you to look past the "right now," and look into the "what can be" or future so to speak. This is a song that steams with beauty. This tune is amazingly written and performed, with outstanding strings. Definitely worth a listen.
Sandi's "I'm A Human Being" opens up a bit bigger. With percussion mostly backing her vocals, this song picks up rather quickly. This song is on Sandi's latest album "The Pink and the Lilly". This song gives the idea that the world is huge. We can only do so much as individuals, she loves the world we live in. This song gives off the positive vibe to just embrace the world and our race. This is a fun positive uplifting song. Again Sandi Thom graces us with her delightfully wonderful vocals. This tune is worth the listen. Go check it out!
