Sleepy Fest 2024 at The Haw River Ballroom’s fast approaching (October 26), and what better way to prepare for the festival than a playlist, right? Without one, it might feel there’s just too much to absorb before showtime! Luckily for us, the fine folks at Sleepy Cat label have compiled a 44-track sampler of SF '24 musicians, and it's jammed packed with bangers. From the catchy folk pop of Chessa Rich to the avant Americana experiments of Gibson & Toutant, the sharp chamber folk of Libby Rodenbough to the plaintive country singer-songwriting of Lou Hazel, this mix will get you up to speed with (almost) all things sleepy before the big concert day. It’s only missing a track from Setting, the ambient drone outfit whose live show’s not to missed. You can stream the playlist from the link in bio! Alt text: A hand picking a banjo
