Biographical Sketch

Northern Light™

Northern Light is one of the upper Midwest's historically prominent rock groups. In 1975, Northern Light released their first single, "Minnesota," which was discovered by Timothy D. Kehr of Columbia Records and, under his guidance, become a national hit. During 80's the group members took the opportunity to concentrate on writing and making demos. This effort evolved in the early 90's to the point where they decided to write and record an album of songs and market the product independently. That product became "Sweet Sunny Day."

David Sandler is the resident arranger and producer of Northern Light whose musical roots quite literally go back to Bach and the Beach Boys. As a piano student of eleven years, he was enthralled by classical works and in partnership with Brian Wilson he co-produced The Spring and American Spring recordings. He has also worked on a few as yet unreleased Beach Boys tracks. David's work with Brian is described in detail in Peter Carlin's new biography about Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys called, "Catch a Wave" which promises to be one of the defining books on the subject.

Northern Summer continues the Northern Light tradition of chamber pop expanding the sound brought forth on their previous releases 49th Parallel and Sweet Sunny Day. This 14 track album was recorded almost entirely with traditional instruments, staying true to symphonic treatment and arrangement. We hope you enjoy our latest effort as we strive to provide entertainment and enjoyable listening experience.
