5x IWMA Instrumentalist of the Year • Western Swing & Bluegrass Fiddler + Singer Her style is rooted in Western Swing, Jazz, Bluegrass and Celtic.
Hailey Sandoz is a Texas-bred musician, following a less-trodden path among millennials. This remarkable young artist captures the attention of audiences young and old through her dynamic performance and representation of Western Swing, “The Official Music of Texas.” Hailey is known for her exceptional fiddling, jazzy vocals, and creative arranging skills. While Western swing is her most fun wheelhouse, Hailey is at home playing Celtic, Country and anything in between. For the past 13 years, Hailey has traveled across the world performing at festivals and concert halls in the United States and abroad, including the Caribbean Islands and Equiblues Festival in France. At age 18, Hailey was hired full-time with Grammy-Award Winner, Bobby Flores and the Yellow Rose Band. Since then, Hailey has appeared with Bobby Flores on two seasons of the RFDTV series, TruCountry. Hailey has also been recognized for her achievements by being named the 2019 & 2017 International Western Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year, 2019 Cowtown Society of Western Music Rising Star of the Year, 2016 Academy of Western Artist Young Artist of the Year and 2015 International Western Music Association Crescendo Rising Star, as well as winning several fiddle competitions. This dynamite breaks the mold of tradition, offering America a new taste of its origins.
