Giant Sand (formerly Giant Sandworms) is an American musical group from Tucson, Arizona, United States.[1] Its most constant member is singer-songwriter Howe Gelb.[1] The groups have developed idiosyncratic sound rooted in alternative country, but touching on a wide range of other styles and featuring Gelb's beatnik-influenced vocals and songwriting.[2] Since about 2012, they have also performed as Giant Giant Sand when featuring a larger ensemble than their traditional four to six musicians.
