Sandra McCracken is a singer, songwriter, and hymn-writer from Nashville. Over the course of nine studio albums, Sandra has developed a body of work that encompasses hook-driven melodic pop, contemporary re-castings of classic hymns (a founding member of Indelible Grace Music), and children's music. Her prolific contributions as a songwriter, modern-day hymn writer, and record producer has brought grace and clarity to her soulful, folk-gospel sound. Whether in a theater or in a chapel, she is a dynamic performer who blurs the lines of what church music sounds like, captivating and inviting audiences to sing along. She is a founding member of Indelible Grace Music and Rain For Roots (children’s music), and she presented at the 2016 Calvin Symposium on Worship, featuring songs from her 2015 Psalms album.
