“Ric Sandler, a singer-songwriter-producer-programmer, has released a disc of standout tunes that consist of rock, pop, and R&B elements. Sandler is a great singer, and the vocals on this CD are wonderfully wrapped with full background vocals, horns, spacerock guitar licks, and toe-tapping tempos. The songwriting here is mature, utilizing both lyrical and musical hooks to good effect, and flowing naturally. Sandler cites such diverse influences as George Gershwin, Nirvana, Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan, and Van Morrison, giving you an idea of where he is coming from. Sandler's vocal reminds me of Don Henley at times, but the music has a more electric approach with nicely produced guitars and rhythm tracks. This is a very accessible CD, which should appeal to mainstream listeners.” — indie-music.com

aka Taylor Wernecke...I grew up in Fargo, North Dakota for half my life and moved down to Hot Springs, Arkansas in 9th grade. Since I've lived down south, I've grown to love iced tea. I also became fascinated with blues music living close to Memphis, and it's the only music my friend Grayson would ever play, so I grew to appreciate it, especially Stevie Ray Vaughn. Country music has always been an influence. Even when I lived in the north, I listened to Martina, Shania, and the Dixie Chicks. I started writing in 7th grade and performed my first song at the 8th grade talent show. After that, I became obsessed with music and recording and writing and performing. Today in Nashville, I'm at Belmont University to pursue a music career.

100 and counting. Thats how many Superman shirts I have these days. You can say Im a FANatic. Have been ever since I saw my first SUPERMAN movie, SUPERMAN IV: Quest for Peace. My mom then got me SUPERMAN PJs and Ive been hooked ever since. If Im out, Ill be wearing a Superman tee, unless Im feeling a little Clark Kent. When I perform, I wear a Superman Tee no matter what.

I was born in Middlesex County New Jersey, and I got into music with my church choir. I never really loved singing, but the little old ladies at my church loved me, so I did it. I wanted to play the drums. I can remember watching the MONKEES and thinking I want to be that guy playing the drums. And I loved their songs. I didnt know that they didnt write or play all of their own songs, but I fell in love with the simple catchy melodies. Yeah thats what I wanted to do with my life.
