Sandgarden is an instrumental guitar duo, playing World-influenced original compositions. We play primarily Spanish nylon-string guitars, with occasional percussion accompaniment.

Our goal is to fuse all of our influences (Spanish, Mexican, Arabic, Rock and Roll, Americana) into a format that is both relaxing and invigorating.

Sandgarden was created in 2003 by guitarists Mark Stultz and Brad Bierschenk. One entire year was spent developing original material, and showcasing it at restaurants, private parties, and community events.

The album "Texican Guitars" contains 12 original songs. It is an eclectic, instrumental journey through the musical flavors of Spain, the Middle East, and the Wild West, performed on acoustic guitar, and backed by ethnic percussion. "Texican Guitars" is an authentically personal musical expression, and we hope you enjoy it.
