Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys with The Blacktop Rockets

@ Wild Heaven Garden Club

Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys

Since forming in 1988 in Southern California, Big Sandy and His Fly-

Rite Boys have become one of the world’s most beloved Americana/

Roots acts, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just

beneath the surface of Rock & Roll’s fertile soil. A childhood passion

for Country, Doo-Wop, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born

Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager, beginning

a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal

record collection continues to grow (75,000 and counting), so does

the depth of the musical influences that stream through his

songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex-

Mex hero Freddy Fender, released at the beginning of the 2020

lockdown, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys

as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on

the road, and more than two dozen releases to their credit, they

remain key figures on the ever-changing Americana circuit, both on

record and in live appearances.
