Emerging folk-rock artist Allie Sandt is carving her own path in the indie scene with a sound that blends folk, blues, jazz, and vintage rock influences. Known for her “complex and entrancing originals” (New Haven Independent), she feels most at home on stage—captivating audiences with powerful vocals and a disarming sense of humor.
Allie got her start in the upstate New York indie circuit, performing in basement venues as the primary songwriter, singer, and bassist for indie-rock band Seeing Double. The group found viral success with their debut single “Leah,” amassing over 6 million streams and building a dedicated audience across the East Coast.
Now based just outside New York City, Allie has stepped into her solo career with a series of compelling releases. Her single “The Right Time” surpassed half a million streams and drew comparisons to Norah Jones and Steely Dan. Her track “The Flood” was praised for its “1970s vibe reminiscent of Joni Mitchell with touches that evoke Fleetwood Mac in their heyday” (Popdose.com). Follow-up singles “Ace” and “Jack’s Song” further showcase her signature blend of nostalgic songwriting and modern indie edge.
Her newest release, “Amanda Antiques,” blends elements of ’70s rock, samba, and folk, marking the first single from her forthcoming debut project set for release this summer. The track signals a new chapter in Allie’s artistry—expanding her sonic palette while staying rooted in the timeless influences that define her sound.
Drawing inspiration from the classic records she grew up on, Allie’s music balances tongue-in-cheek lyricism with intricate guitar work. Following a three-month road trip across the U.S., where she performed intimate acoustic sets in cities nationwide, she has returned to New York with a renewed sense of direction—ready to connect with listeners through songs that feel both timeless and personal.
