Sleeping Jesus is a rock band started by Nick Elstad in Winona, MN. The now five-piece Minneapolis band, featuring Tyler Steinley, Andy Bauer, Seamus St Clair, and Dane Degrazie, just released their new album “Hollywood Smile,” which peaked at #22 on the NCAA Top 200. Hollywood Smily sees the band ditching the hazy dream pop stylings of their debut album and dipping their toes into the waters of rock and roll and americana for the very first time. Their live shows consist of jangly dueling guitars, three party harmony, tight locked rhythm, and intense moments of controlled chaos all tied together by the raspy croon of lead singer Nick Elstad. After a successful album release show at First Avenue’s 7th street entry, the band is set to bring their charming version of rock n’ roll to festivals and audiences across the Midwest and beyond.
Joining Sleeping Jesus on stage will be the local indie-rock group “Come Back K”
