Sandy Merrill Bio Live & Alive on Major records. Ron Winn of The City Newspaper in Nashville in reviewing "My Way," had this to say about Sandy, "There aren't many vocalists more qualified to perform the songs of Frank Sinatra than Nashville's Sandy Merrill. Once the featured vocalist with Sy Zentner's Orchestra ... " Sy's hit was "Up A Lazy River."No less than Vic Damone told Sandy; "You are the best singer I've heard and I only said that to one other person and that was Steve Lawrence." He has been compared to Torme, Buble, Bennett, Connick Jr. Damone, and Sinatra ... Sandy prides himself on being a practioner out of the Big Band school of music. A Chicagoan by birth, he is the son of Opera Singer Mildred Gerber. Basically a nightclub/stage performerand he does private corporate dates throughout the country. He was chosen for the part of Tevia in a Nashville production of "Fiddler on the Roof" and recently was the male lead in Kaine Riggan's procuction of "My Way" His "Christmas in Chicago," kicked off the holiday season at Chicago's Tree Lighting Ceremony with Sandy singing the honors for a beaming Mayor Daley. Sandy has worked and learning from legends such as Les McCann, Billy Williams of "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," & Pat Morita from the "Karate Kid." He also had the honor of introducing "For Once in My Life" for the first time on any stage. Now living in Nashville he sings commercials, records, writes, and performs corporate dates through out the country.
