Sanders Bohlke (born February 28, 1984) is an American songwriter and recording artist born in Sardis, Mississippi. His music has been variously described as experimental folk and indie alternative. He released his self-titled debut album in 2006 and has since put out a second studio album, Ghost Boy, in 2012, the EP The Night in 2015, as well as numerous singles, most recently "Never Wake", in July 2018.[1]
