The Late Nights are the seamless fusion of rock-steady harmonies with a backbone of classic soul-inspired lyrics and a peppering of rousing spoken-word. Marked by salty, spit-fire melodies, female power-songs, and primal rhythms; both broken and golden, passionate and pure.

Featuring ukulele linguistics, an accordion wail, and the glockenspiel prying at the corners of your smile, all mingling with a spellbinding beat that commands you to move something, quick.

A prolific songwriter, Chris Sand, AKA Montana's Rappin' Cowboy, has released 12 CDs. His music is fusion in the raw--country/ hip hop/ folk/ rap/ cowboy/ punk. Whatever you want to call it, it's unique, fresh, sexy, and western.

The great-grandson of Montana and North Dakota pioneers, Sand grew up listening to cowboy poetry and country music. When hip hop culture hit "the Rez" (the Flathead Indian Reserve in western Montana, where Sand lived most of his early years), he learned to rap, sing and strum to the pulse of baling machines and irrigation pumps.
Sandman has toured the country many times, sharing bills with acts ranging from Corb Lund to Kimya Dawson to Michael Franti & Spearhead.

Chris Sand performances shine with heart and humor. If you are curious about the sound of avant-garde western Americana, take some time to listen to this one-of-a-kind rappin' folk singer from Missoula, Montana.
