ABOUT SLEEPWALK:

The first ever Sleepwalk Guitar Festival made good on its mission to celebrate all things guitar, and to showcase trailblazers and standard-bearers of excellence from across genres. Giants of the guitar world were brought together for one weekend of jams, workshops, interviews and headline shows. Sleepwalk showcased legends of country, blues and avant-garde slinging, and the impressive list of artists at the inaugural year included Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Amos Garrett, J Mascis, Colin James, Duke Robillard and more.

The Sleepwalk Guitar Festival is presented by Six Shooter Records, a Canadian label known for its irrefutable mantra, “Life is too short to listen to $@!&#* music.”
