Quote from John Mulhern, Studio Owner, Recording Engineer, Super Duperz Studio
"I am a guitarist and engineer and I have studied with Pat Martino and Dennis Sandole....I have played with everyone from Harry Connick Jr. to Sarah Vaughan and I know special talented musicians, I've been surrounded by them all my life... "Sandy" has that rare quality as a bassist-you can't explain it, you can't teach it, it's God given talent".

A sophomore at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, bassist Alexander "Sandy" Eldred was considered to be among the top tier already at age 17. He was also accepted to Berklee, Temple, Rowan and Wm. Paterson University following his auditions. He currently studies bass with Steve Beskrone in Philadelphia and has studied with Tim Lekan (Ocean City, NJ). As an instrumental major at chARTer-TECH High School for the Performing Arts, Sandy was also a student of the South Jersey Chapter of the Paul Green School of Rock. As a co-founding member of “BLEAK CITY BAND” also known as “Patrick Droney and Bleak City”, he held down the bassline for over a year and helped catapult the band into such accomplishments as being the youngest band ever to perform at the legendary STONE PONY in Asbury Park, NJ. Sandy later joined “A CASE OF HYSTERIA” with former band mate and keyboard player Paul Lopresti. The two now work closely together writing original music which draws on their collective backgrounds in classical, jazz and classic rock. He plays both the upright and electric bass, as well as some guitar, drums and keyboards. He also composes original music. He is a member of the National Junior Honor Society, the National Honor Society, and is PROTOOLS 101 and 110 Certified. He is a member of the Recording Academy and the Somers Point Jazz Society.

Previously employed at Livlihood Entertainment/ Black Wall Street Studios in Atlantic City, Sandy worked as a sound engineer and session musician. When not playing bass Sandy works at Super Duperz Recording as an audio engineer/producer and session musician, or can be found at the EHT PAL Paintball Program, as a youth volunteer. Sandy plans a career in music and is studying jazz performance.
