It’s my first Father’s Day, so listen to my dad’s new song!

Happy Father’s Day!

This is my first as a dad myself. My son Rishi will be turning one next month and I couldn’t be prouder! At this time last year, I don’t think I knew quite what to expect. Would I be a good dad? Would he think so? Well, 11 months later, I wouldn’t say I’m an expert at this, but I think I might be at least starting to get the hang of it! He’s a great kid and I’m looking forward to many more Father’s Days ahead!

It all makes me appreciate my own dad even more! There’s a lot of great things to say about that guy, but for brevity’s sake, let’s just highlight one — he’s one heck of a musician! The elder Bender plays guitar, banjo, harmonica, mandolin and more, and he’s always recording when he’s home. I think you’ll dig it if you like folk music, or artists like Bert Jansch, Mark Knopfler and Richard Thompson.

Earlier this month, he released a new digital single called “If You Could Convince Me.” It’s available now on Apple, Spotify, Google/YouTube Music and all the other usual suspects! Here it is below on YouTube and Spotify.

You should also check out the album he released a few years ago, Terrain!

Hope you enjoy! Happy Father’s Day, Dad! And to all the other pops out there, have a super-fantastic day!

Listen to debut album by multi-instrumentalist Sandy Bender

You might not have known this, but my dad is a fantastic musician! While professionally he is an architect, he’s been playing guitar, banjo and other instruments my whole life (and most of his). Over the years, he has recorded many tunes for himself, family and friends, but has never released his music to a wider market.

Until now!

For quite a long time, I had been pushing him to release an album, and now it is finally available in CD from CreateSpace and Amazon, and MP3 download from CDBaby.com.

His first album, Terrain, is a bittersweet collection of original instrumental music that draws from baroque, ethnic folk, jazz and blues, featuring finger-picked guitar, as well as banjo, mandolin, ukulele, clarinet and harmonica.

By the way, he also drew all of the album art, which was expertly designed by Joe Tantillo.

Sample and/or purchase the entire album below! The digital version should also soon be available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, Google Music and other popular retailers.
