Releases New Album Sandy Haley - “Feels Like Freedom”

Sandy Haley - “Feels Like Freedom”

Southern California-based blues vocalist Sandy Haley proudly announces her new album “Feels
Like Freedom,” releasing independently on CD, Vinyl, and Digitally January 17, 2022, and available at sandyhaleymusic.com. Produced by Grammy-winning artist Tony Braunagel, Haley describes the recording as “a testament to life, living and kicking ass in the 21st Century.” According to Sandy, "I was a gospel singer until I got my heart shattered in a breakup. Then I craved The Blues as an ointment for my soul." Sandy Haley and the band exude a high-energy, soulful, blues entertainment experience with powerful vocals that gets the crowd up on their feet dancing. They present their original music with a deep connection to Chicago blues and Rhythm and Soul Blues. 

The vivacious Haley won the Santa Clarita Valley Blues Society’s 2021 “Best Blues Band” at their
recent yearly IBC (International Blues Competition) and was getting ready to travel with her band to Memphis to compete nationally, when it was announced on New Year’s Eve the Memphis IBC was being postponed due to the latest Omicron outbreak.

Haley grew up playing piano and singing Gospel in the soulful city of Detroit. She attended Eastern Michigan University where she honed her craft in the music department. She connected with the now-legendary producer Eric Morgensen where her songwriting skills developed in the famed "Studio A". Upon her coming of age, she and the band moved to LA where they played the local blues/rock festivals. Unfortunately, before realizing any commercial success, the rigors of the music business saw the band break up, with most of the members going home to Michigan. Sandy however, persevered, staying in Los Angeles and assembling another band – one with the right musical chemistry that showcases Sandy's unique fusion of Gospel and Contemporary Blues. Along the way, she has shared the stage with Contemporary Blues stars like Teresa James, Coco Montoya, Tommy Castro, John Nemeth, and many others. As a member of Detroit's popular rock band, The Rockets, Haley performed with musical giants Joe Walsh, The Beach Boys, and Sammy Hagar.

Sandy talks about the songs on “Feels Like Freedom.”
"Never Sleep Your Way to the Middle," a tongue-in-cheek, true story of an office worker’s
romance with the married boss with a humorous message and advice to girls of all ages and is
currently getting international blues radio airplay around the world from USA to UK and Europe,
The Netherlands and Australia! Listen on Spotify or Amazon music. "Feels Like Freedom" is an anthem for hard-working people that want to celebrate life, love and
friendship. Feel the vibe of " No work all play" and you'll get swept away. Sandy wrote this song
while inspired on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise. “The waves and the wonderful people
all enjoying the bands gave me the realization that “I want to live my life this way, how about
you?!”
“Love Me Right or Cut Me Loose,” is a soulful ballad and personal story, dedicated to all the single parents who have protected and raised their kids with love through lonely nights.
“Dirty Dog” is always a crowd favorite, with its catchy Swing/Blues beat and humorous look at
what goes on after Midnight!
