Sandra is among four artists nominated for the YYC Music Awards (Calgary Music Awards) for the 2026 Indigenous Artist of the Year. Her and felllow nominees –  Sean Beaver, Jaiden Riley, Chills and Black Crow Funk – are recognized for music that celebrates identity, culture and community.

Sandra's latest album, Shadow Stories, was released last June. It followed her other two albums, Aurora 12 and Cluster Stars.

The 11th annual YYC Music Awards will take place on Sept. 20 at the Event Centre at Grey Eagle Resort and Casino.

Sandra will be accompanied by Rob Ing and Tammi Henke at this year's Calgary Stampede on July 7. They will be performing at the Window on the West, Stage 2 at 2 p.m.

If you want a great warmup for the Stampede,  listen to Sandra and Rob perform at the Cornerstone Cafe on June 27. And for some post-Stampede entertainment, Sandra , Rob and Tricia Edwards will be performing at the High River Music Festival on August 9 at 1 p.m.

Sandra and her long-time friend and musical collaborator, Rob Ing, will be serving up some “secret sauce”  during brunch at the Cornerstone Music Caffe in Calgary on Saturday, April 11.

Join the dynamic dual from 11  a.m. to 1 p.m. as they perform a tasty sampling of songs from across multiple genres. Drawing inspiration from legends like Vince Gill, Linda Ronstadt, Crystal Gale and Jackson Brown, they'll be sharing soulful Canadian/roots folk originals that are full of heart, truth and resilence.

This unforgettable live performance at the Cornerstone Music Cafe closes out Indigenous History Month.
