Sweet Revenge Country Band

SWEET REVENGE Sandy Nuyts-Lead Vocals/Acoustic Guitar Although Sandy hit the local music scene just a mere 2 years ago and has since played venues from the Bay Area to LA. At the young age of 3 Sandy began dance classes and started performing on stage in recitals and in church plays. At age 12 Sandy fell in love with musical theater where she was able to not only dance but also use her vocal talent and began performing in various musicals through Junior High and High School. Just before turning 21 Sandy was introduced to a friend of a friend who was going to be opening a new country bar in Sacramento and was offered a bartending position. Soon after the bar opening, they began to have karaoke every night and Sandy began singing again. Shyly singing karaoke turned into her becoming "The Singing Bartender", which then turned into live bands asking her on stage during shows, which then created a buzz and people began asking Sandy why she doesn't sing in a band. After 4 years of encouragement and persistence from customers and friends, Sandy joined her first band in 2011. She has since developed as a performer and singer and had no intention on stopping. facebook.com/sandynuyts David Karacozoff -Lead Guitar/Vocals David was born and raised in Sacramento.
