Sandy Back Porch performs for Second Saturdays at Sweetwater

Press release from Matheson History Museum
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Don’t miss the Sandy Back Porch band playing everything from bluegrass to cover songs on the front porch of the Historic Matheson House as a part of the Second Saturdays at Sweetwater series. On Saturday, February 8, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., watch the sparks fly from the guitar of Stan Burns, fiddle of Freddy Burky, and Big Daddy Bass of Sandy Holdeman. All three musicians sing both lead and harmony vocals.
Stan Burns began playing guitar professionally when he was 13 years old and toured nationally as a teenager. Close your eyes, and you will think Johnny Cash is singing. Freddy Burky is a multi-instrumentalist although he prefers playing fiddle or guitar. He played in Orlando’s tourist district for years as the fiddling country bear in Disney’s Country Bear Jamboree and at Church Street Station’s Cheyenne Saloon. Sandy Holdeman is a songwriter and recording artist and plays Big Daddy Bass. Sandy’s people-pleasing performances are a familiar presence throughout Florida and Georgia whether it’s singing, playing, or dancing.
This trio promises to bring a smile to your face with cover songs and time-honored standards.
This event is sponsored in part by Visit Gainesville/Alachua County, FL; The City of Gainesville; and by the Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs, the Florida Council of the Arts and Culture, and the State of Florida.
