“‘She’s a Golddigger’ is just plain fun,” comments Eric Steckel. “It was one of the songs that I just couldn’t wait to record for this album and I can’t wait for you guys to hear it.

“My forthcoming new album, Sandstorm is the most fun I’ve had making a record in my career thus far,” comments Steckel. “The incredible vibe in the studio brought forth tons of new and spontaneous material such as the title track ‘Sandstorm,’ which instantly became my favorite track on this album and a perfect representation of this body of work.”
