PATrick shannon and jennifer SANDifer make up the duo "Pat Sand." Primarily songwriters and computer geeks, Pat Sand is on a mission to write one new standard song for the 21st century (and maybe a couple of minor hits?) and, of course, have ooodles of fun along the way. With your feedback, we just may be able to reach those goals! (Well... we're already having ooodles of fun!)

Working from our sweet little home studio in the Trend-O-Rama Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, we are just minutes from one of the greatest music markets in the world. (Yes, that's us on the "L" train!) Also, working in the center of the Macintosh community in New York City (you know who you are!) gives us a clear perspective on what it means to combine a love of technology with a love of music.

That doesn't mean that we make machine-sounds, it means that we use the tools to make us sound as human as possible! (Alright, maybe it doesn't always work out that way, but we're learning!) Enjoy!!!
