Sandy Shugart blends two careers - one as a poet and singer/songwriter, another as a college president. He says they noursih each other, his "day job" giving him the material that is turned into ballads and folk-rock licks on life, work, growing, and growing old. With three independently produced CDs since 2000, Sandy has also developed a unique performance style. Many of his audiences book him for a formal speech at a convention or professional development event. What they get instead is an engaging hour or more of stories, songs and poems aimed at the heart more than the head. Married for 26 years, Sandy is also father of four with whom he lives, plays, and writes in Orlando, Florida.
