Jon Sandler and The Fancy Band is having a great year. They recently recorded a new EP titled "The Fancy Band" produced by Eric Zeiler (Xylos), signed with super duper records and last summer opened for Jimmy Buffett at the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach. Most recently, Jon and The Fancy Band were honored with official showcases at the 2010 and 2011 CMJ music marathons in New York City, included on Delta Airlines in-flight radio, and were featured in Billboard Magazine after winning the first ever national 'Mariachi Mash Up' competition sponsored by Hornitos Tequila. On June 12th their first full length 'Late Night Champ', mixed by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend) was released and followed by a sold out show at City Winery in NYC. With a soulful voice, honest lyrics and a charismatic stage presence, he's been compared to a combination of Julian Casablancas, Elton John and John Lennon and recently a blog referred to Sandler as 'the lovechild of Adam Levine and Tracy Chapman.' His unique style has been heard throughout the New York City scene over the past 5 years, where he has played over 200 shows at popular venues such as Rockwood Music Hall (Stages 1 and 2), Mercury Lounge, Knitting Factory, Pianos, Arlene's Grocery, Sullivan Hall, Southpaw, two sold out shows at the Triad Theater. Jon is currently writing original music for film and television projects, including a feature documentary and a theme song for a new television pilot. With a new website, merchanise and a music video, Jon and his band (Sam Merrick, Dominic Fallacaro, Chris Kelly) are excited to embark on a Summer tour. Enjoy these songs from the new album!
