ACCLAIMED PRODUCER, ENGINEER, SINGER, SONGWRITER, GUITARIST CHAS SANDFORD[Dec. 19, 2010] Acclaimed producer, engineer, singer, songwriter, guitarist and Secret Sound studio owner CHAS SANDFORD is a much-respected veteran in the music business. He’s had the good fortune to work with some of the biggest names in music and now, with the 1/11/11 release of his new--and second--solo album WAG MORE, BARK LESS, he is ready to step back into the artist spotlight. The Atlanta native, who’s lived in Nashville since 1993, produced, engineered and mixed the album, a melodic rock-and-pop mix of electric and acoustic stylings. It is a proudly modern classic-rock album that’s brimming with affecting songs about life, love and loss; SANDFORD vocally gets inside such songs as “Let Love Back In This House,” “Someday Susan,” “My Favorite Regret” and the epic closer “It’s Changing” with plenty of emotional heart and power.
