Sandra and Jon are coming to the Ithaca area where Sandra grew up. Joyful, heart centered with passion and depth is how Jon and Sandra’s music has been described. Drawing on a diverse range of musical backgrounds; classical, metal, Irish, Old-Time, Scandinavian and more, Sandra and Jon weave originals and traditional roots music to take the audience on a journey through the spectrum of human emotion. Deftly moving from tunes that make your feet tap to the soft and sensitive side that brings us back home to our hearts.

Sandra plays violin/fiddle, nyckelharpa and sings. Jon plays guitar, tenor banjo and sings. Both have toured nationally and internationally. Jon and Sandra have been performing and creating music together for over a decade and have a duo album coming out early 2024.
