About Sandy “Sandman” Allen:

Sandman is a veteran of nearly 60 years in the music biz. We’ll begin in ‘69, after a year of studying dramatic arts at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He’d written (and published) a few songs, and played with numerous bands in high school, and now he decided music would be his path. If one was going to struggle and starve, doing it as an actor seemed a far more serious plight.

Within a few months, Sandman reunited with two high school buddies and formed “Papa Nebo”. That band stayed together for about 2 years, releasing an album on Atlantic Records.

After the break-up, Sandman travelled - bummed around. In ‘74, he moved to NYC, where he and “Papa Nebo” co-founder Michael Packer formed a new band, which eventually became “Free Beer”. The name was the unfortunate result of a looming deadline and three guys who couldn’t agree about much, except their intention to play music and enjoy the party. In any case, “Free Beer” made 3 really good albums (Buddha, RCA). It came to an end at a wonderful farewell gig at Kenny’s Castaways, Easter ‘77.

Sandman remained on the scene in Greenwich Village until ‘80, when he moved to Mystic. He continued to write, but stayed away from performing until ‘85, when he began the playing in a few popular country bands. It kept him busy, but he missed working on original songs. In the early ‘90s, he met Jim Carpenter and a number of other singer/songwriters. They started getting together, with no grand scheme. That music continues today, in the form of the “Hoolios”. Aside from the Hoolios, Sandman is a member of “Sweet Mercy!”, and he enjoys “guest appearances” with his many musical friends.

Sandman sings of love and loss, desire and despair - you know, the usual stuff.

About Jessica Smucker:

Jessica Smucker believes that the best way to change the world is to channel our pain into connection. Her songs have a way of reaching deeply into people’s souls and inviting the kind of reflection that feels both reassuring and unsettling. Wrapped in catchy melodies, her lyrics appear simple and relatable on the surface, but each listen will uncover more hidden pockets of nuance. She’s the kind of writer and performer who can lull a noisy room into a hush with a single line.

Based in Lancaster, PA, Jessica was raised in the Mennonite faith tradition by a family full of storytellers, activists, adventurers, and pranksters. She has toured nationwide and performs regularly throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern U.S. Her discography spans from 2008-2022 and includes two EPs and three full-length albums. Between the summers of 2021-2022 she released five more singles, including synth-pop anthems “Dinosaurs,” “Rose of Jericho,” and “Phoenix,” and piano ballads “Stones to Throw” and “War of Attrition.” Her fourth studio album is planned for release in 2024.

Jessica has won or placed in several national songwriting contests including SolarFest’s Singer/Songwriter Showcase Competition, the Connecticut Folk Festival Song Competition, and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. In her life beyond music, Jessica is a published poet and essayist, a social justice warrior, a freakishly good Scrabble player, and mother to two of the smartest people she’s ever met in real life!
