Born in Detroit, Sandy followed her parents into the local Gilbert and Sullivan society and dreamed of a Broadway career.  Circumstances, however, caused that career to develop off Broadway ... way off Broadway.

"Sandy Cash has ... a gorgeous, rich voice, [and] an ear for clever lyrics... I'm so happy to know that she is out there singing songs like these in her part of the world.  Lucky them!"
           -Christine Lavin

For the last 10 years, Sandy has been one of the most popular performers on the Israeli "anglo" entertainment circuit, catering to Israel's large community of English-speaking immigrants.  Specializing in dramatic, thought-provoking songs, Sandy's music brings her expatriate audiences back in time... and forward to places they've never been before.

Sandy attended Yale University, where she excelled in extra-curricular singing and musical theatre while completing a degree in Judaic Studies.   Sandy originally set her sights on the rabbinate and moonlighted as Israel's first female cantor - but eventually switched her focus and entered drama school in Tel Aviv in 1986.

Sandy's a splendid singer and musician, and her songwriting stands straight and true alongside the likes of Cosy Sheridan, Dar Williams, and the Berrymans...an artist worth hearing..."
              -David Roth

After a year in drama school, Sandy did perform in Hebrew, as well as in Italian and French.  Her first job was in the New Israeli Opera, where she appeared in such memorable roles as "sixteenth gypsy from the right" and "19th century courtesan with the worst "wig" under the direction of Zubin Mehta.  Later she performed -- in Hebrew -- in the Israeli casts of "Les Miserables" and "Evita" and appeared on radio and television.

Even as she "made it" in the Israeli theater world, Sandy felt a yearning for her home language.  She began to frequent Israel's network of folk clubs, performing songs that emphasized her dramatic training to the accompaniment of guitar, Appalachian dulcimer and a century-old English concertina.

Today, Sandy considers herself folk "ambassador" to the Middle East, and is proud to have brought the work of songwriters such as Christine Lavin, Susan Werner, Dar Williams and John Forster to the attention of Israeli audiences. 

In the summer of 2007, Sandy was selected to perform in at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in New York, as part of its "Emerging Artists" showcase. She tours outside of Israel as often as her carpool schedule permits.
