Mark Sandman (September 24, 1952 – July 3, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, musical instrument inventor, multi-instrumentalist and comic writer. Sandman possessed a distinctive, deep bass-baritone voice and a mysterious demeanour. He was an indie rock icon and longtime fixture in the Boston/Cambridge music scene, best known as the lead singer and slide bass player of the band Morphine. Sandman was also a member of the blues-rock band Treat Her Right and founder of Hi-n-Dry, a recording studio and independent record label.
On July 3, 1999, he suffered a heart attack during a concert in Italy and died instantly.[citation needed]
He was highly regarded by many other bass players for his unique "slow and murky" style, with Les Claypool,[1] Mike Watt, and Josh Homme all citing Sandman as an influence.[citation needed]
