Sandra's music was recently nominated in four categories for the annual Native American Music Awards (NAMA). The categories: Song from an Album (Aurora Borealis); Best Pop Video (Standing People); Best Folk-Americana Recording (Aurora 12) and Best Pop Recording (Aurora 12).

There is a voting component for these awards, so you can help Sandra make it to the stage by voter for her work in each of these categories.

Earlier this month, Sandra lost a close personal friend and music collaborator, Vince Fontaine, who joined the spirit world on Jan. 11.  

Vince was a founding member and leader of the Juno-award winning Canadian roots-rock band Eagle & Hawk based in Winnipeg, and folk pop band Indian City. He was a proud member of the Sagkeeng First Nation, and was a father and husband. 

Sandra collaborated with Vince on her debut album, Cluster Stars, as well as her second album, Aurora 12. Vince, in turn, invited Sandra to be a feature performer on his recently released album, Code Red, by Indian City. Along with Juno Award winner Chris Burke-Gaffney, the trio was honoured at the 2019 Indigenous Music Awards as Best Producers-Engineers for Cluster Stars.
