Sandra Humphries - more than worth it … Known as "The Real Deal", few can bring that true country feel to a song quite like South Australian singer-songwriter Sandra Humphries. Once she opens her mouth on stage, Sandra's country roots are more than evident in her faultless delivery - you know she's felt that emotion and survived it. It's little wonder her debut disc, Every Road, produced by Bill Chambers, earned accolades including Artist/Album of the Year at the Tasmanian and New Zealand Independent Awards; and Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2004 TIARAs (Tamworth Independent Artists' Recognition Awards). Love on the Side, a duet with Bill Chambers, won Sandra the Vocal Collaboration TIARA in 2005. Sandra chose to record her second album, Take The Pain Away, with Bill once again in the producer's role. Biggest Fool Around was the first radio release and was a Top 20 hit on the Australian country charts. It also added a third TIARA to Sandra's mantelpiece - for female vocal in 2007. Recording her third album Sandra chose a different path fulfilling every country singer's dream and making the record in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm Worth It" is Sandra's stunning new release recorded at "Sidekick Studios" and produced by John Thornton. The much talked about album has produced no less than three top 10 hits, with Sandra's own song "Just Walk Away" reaching the top 5 on the Australian Country Music charts, as well as receiving a nomination at the Mildura Independent Country Music Awards for "Album of the year"!
