Sass! and The Sass! Trio

About Me

Sass! is songwriters Sandy Andina & Susan Urban from Chicago, Illinois. Sandy and Susan are accomplished performers and songwriters, each with many years of experience entertaining audiences across the Midwest and beyond. They describe their music as Original Classic Folk, and their influences range from folk to rock to opera and everywhere in between. Kate Early, also from Chicago, is well known for her singing of traditional music, and when she joins Sandy and Susan at a Sass! concert, she adds numbers from a wide range of other interesting musical genres as well! Scintillating three part harmonies and a wicked sense of humor on the part of all three of these fine musicians make for a great evening of entertainment.
