Welcome to the website for Sandy Shugart and the January Band.  

In these pages, you will find information about noted speaker and musician, Dr. Sandy Shugart.   You will also hear the musicians who accompany Sandy on many of his speaking engagements, the January Band.  

The story of the band covers some twenty years of making music, leading worship, and performing in many venues in the US and Europe.  Audiences are invited to consider how authentic leadership and our best work is rooted in one’s deepest beliefs and, often, unexamined assumptions.  They share how their lives and work have been nourished by Christian faith and a “sacred anthropology.”  These performances are often followed by thoughtful questions and deep conversations. 

Performing a variety of original and cover songs, and including storytelling and poetry, they engage important issues of human flourishing with Christian principles.

The messages are tailored to our audiences and participants.  Whether it is a group of business professionals, the staff of a university, a group of medical professionals or high level politicians, Sandy speaks directly to the important issues of the day,

Sandy crafts special content designed to enlighten and encourage created from his many years as a University President, author, speaker and board chairman.  Sandy looks for opportunities to incorporate music during his presentations to add a close emotional connection with his material.  While this may seem somewhat uncommon in your experience, Sandy and the band are able to seamlessly integrate music that enhances the message in ways that will surprise and encourage.

Take a few moments to explore the travels, experiences and opportunities Sandy and the Band can offer you as they have for many sponsoring organizations and in partnership with the Salzburg based Quo Vadis Institute, where Sandy is a Senior Fellow.
