Sandra Piller may have been born and raised in Southern California, but she has always been a country girl at heart: “ I really enjoy the storytelling aspect of country songs.” ​ With vocals reminiscent of Allison Krauss and Lee Ann Womack, Sandra was named "Best New Female Country Artist of 2009" by New Music Weekly, and "Best Female Country Artist of 2010."  Her single, "I Cross That Bridge," was #1 on the NMW Country music charts for three straight weeks.  The title track from her 2011 "Days Like These" CD hit the Music Row charts and was Top Ten on the New Music Weekly country chart.   ​   Sandra signed her first single song contract with legendary Sun Records icon and country music producer Cowboy Jack Clement.  For the past several years she has collaborated with songwriter Jane Bach, a 36-year veteran hit songwriter in Nashville.  Since co-writing with Bach, Sandra's country CDs have been produced by Bach and recorded in Nashville;    A special CD for Sandra, "Love Goes On" (co-written by Bach and Piller)  was released in June of 2012 and dedicated to her late husband, Michael Piller.  Michael is remembered by millions of fans for his role as the executive producer and writer of more than a hundred episodes of the Star Trek television series, as well as writing the feature film Star Trek Insurrection.    Playing nightclubs, fairs, and songwriter rounds in Los Angeles, Nashville, and New York City and other cities, Sandra has performed her country music at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, Douglas Corner Cafe, and The Commodore (and even at a Nashville Star Trek Convention); at New York's The Bitter End, The Living Room and The Rockwood; at Los Angeles' Genghis Cohen, Molly Malone's, Skinny's Lounge, The Other Door, Room 5, LAWIM (Los Angeles Women in Music) events, and Toys for Tots fundraisers; and at Charlotte, NC's 8.2.0. Club.

The American dream came true for Catalina Popescu in October of 1986 when she and her husband Bob created a supper club devoted to serving an experience of superb eats and the shared magic of live performance. That grand experience began at the door where every night her mother Maria would greet each guest as family and share in their love of music. Housed in Hollywood and decked out in a timeless charm, the club offers a cozy ambience under sparkling stage lights garnished with its signature concoction — Jazz. The first artist to grace the stage was the masterful flutist and saxophonist Buddy Collette, and ever since then, over the past 36 years, the Catalina Jazz Club has hosted the most illustrious legends of all time — from the powerful puffers of Dizzy Gillespie to the electrified fingers of McCoy Tyner, the bubbly belt of Dee Dee Bridgewater and Lynda Carter, the flirtatious saxophone of Joshua Redman, the slick strumming of Kenny Burrell, the insane drum clinic of Steve Gadd, the romance of Steve Tyrell, and the masterclass of Mike Stern. For Catalina, Jazz is our way of life. It breathes pain. It knows love. It dreams hope. It bleeds courage. Whether we’re showcasing Broadway, Soul, R&B, or stand-up comedy, the lesson learned from all the greats who have serenaded our spirits is how to connect to one another. And that’s why the Catalina Jazz Club will always have a table ready for you. The Catalina Jazz Club has been honored by A.S.M.A.C., California Jazz Foundation, Los Angeles Jazz Society, and a City of Los Angeles Certificate of Appreciation on their 25th Anniversary, which was awarded by Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and the LA City Council which included then City Council member and current Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
