Join Big Frank for a nostalgic journey through South Texas music history with Sandy Alexander, the driving force behind the legendary dance band Sandy's Six Pack. The band is reuniting for one final celebration on Saturday, August 23rd at the JK Northway Coliseum—and Sandy shares the incredible story behind this homecoming.
From their debut performance on September 16, 1971 at Mesquite Grove on the Texas A&I University campus (now Texas A&M-Kingsville) to becoming a cornerstone of the South Texas music scene, Sandy's Six Pack left an indelible mark on regional entertainment. Over their 15-year run from 1971 to 1986, the band performed an astounding 2,150 dances across South Texas, entertaining combined crowds of over one million people.
In this intimate conversation, Sandy reflects on the band's journey through the golden era of South Texas dance halls, sharing stories from the road, the evolution of their sound, and what it meant to be part of the fabric of weekend entertainment for countless families and communities. We explore how the band became synonymous with good times and great music, creating memories that have lasted generations.
Sandy also opens up about what it's like to bring the band back together after all these years, the challenges of reuniting longtime friends and musicians, and why they felt compelled to give their fans one last night to remember. This isn't just a comeback—it's a celebration of an era, a tribute to the fans who never forgot, and a chance to say a proper goodbye.
