Contemporary folk music’s most “geographically challenged” performer, Detroit-born Sandy Cash first picked up a guitar after she moved to Israel 18 years ago. Since then, she has become the comedy queen of Israel's folk scene, enthralling her audiences with her delightful stage manner and laugh-out-loud repertoire.

Sandy attended Yale University, where she excelled in extra-curricular singing and musical theatre while completing a degree in Judaic Studies. Sandy originally set her sights on the rabbinate and moonlighted as Israel's first female cantor - but eventually switched her focus and entered drama school in Tel Aviv in 1986.

A classically-trained singer, Sandy has sung with New Israeli Opera, where she appeared in such memorable roles as "sixteenth gypsy from the right" and "19th century courtesan with the worst wig" under the direction of Zubin Mehta. She also performed in the Israeli casts of "Les Miserables" and "Evita" and has appeared on Israeli radio and television.

...the power and broad interpretive style of a Bette Midler or Barbra Streisand... Sandy Cash has a very special gift, that more than a singer, she is an excellent storyteller. - Bob McKenzie, Soundbytes, Canada

Sandy Cash has impeccable taste...a gorgeous, rich voice [and] an ear for clever lyrics...I'm so happy to know that she is out there singing songs like these in here part of the world. Lucky them! -Christine Lavin

I love seeing Sandy Cash perform! No “look at me” attitude there, just a warm, real relationship with the audience . . . and when she starts to sing – wow! It’s like you’re at the opera, or the best musical theatre with guitar you’ve ever seen. … her new material grows from strength to strength, proving her a true poet as well as an actress with a golden voice. -Ellen Kushner, host of public radio’s Sound & Spirit
