Sandy Hatley is a retired school teacher from Stanly County with a passion for bluegrass music and a contagious zest for life. As a girl, she fell in love with the banjo and not long after that became a member of one of the first all-female bluegrass bands. She met her husband at a fiddler's convention and they still perform as members of the Hatley family band. Sandy is also an ambassador for all things agricultural, and her spiritual perspective is genuine and inspiring.
