Update…

January 18th, 2010

Welcome to the official Crystal Sands website! First off, happy new year and thank you for all of your support in 2009! I want to give yall an update on the exciting new things going on! You can hear some of my new songs on my Myspace page and while you are reading this, there are a few clips from my new album playing in the background. Thank you so much to everyone who has bought “The Hard Times” and who has supported my dream!! I have been doing acoustic shows and getting a great response on the songs that I wrote. I will be singing at a cancer benefit on Feb. 6th for Stacey Christie (click link for more info) and a portion of my CD sales will be donated to the family holding the benefit. I have been trying to write more, thanx to the inspiration from getting a Martin Guitar for Christmas, ( its Awesome!), I just got my first apartment in Nashville, Tn and I can’t tell you how excited I am! I really need all of your prayers this year as you know how tough and cruel the music business can be! But I must say, so far, I’ve been very blessed :) I wish you all the best in health and happiness in 2010! Stay tuned ;)
Thank you

Sands had co-written on a couple of tunes on her debut album but on this one she flies strictly solo. That’s pretty gutsy for a new artist but when you consider that Sands was born and raised in Maryland, where the state motto is “Manly Deeds, Womanly Words,” and you combine her pilgrim roots with the bravado she picked up while living in Texas; well, she’s not only immensely talented, she’s downright fearless. Sands wrote every song on this album and in her cut by cut, she gives you a personal glimpse into the inspiration for every track. I was the very first country music journalist to interview this young artist, before she even recorded her debut album, so I was eager to catch up with her career and I definitely was looking forward to going over her new album with her. We wasted no time getting started:

Lucky and Ginelle and the entire TMA, Thank you for starting such an awesome assiciation that allows us singers and musicians to be recognized and have the opportunities that you have given us.My Family and Friends, All of your support and Love is what holds me together and keeps me going.
I was so excited when they called my name, the youtube video doesnt show the beginning of my speech, but I didnt have one prepared, I was in total shock and I screamed! We had just finished our performance and I sat down next to My Mom, who was more nervous then I was lol, Had my fingers crossed and never felt so blessed in my life to win that Award. It is very special to me!
