Sleeping Jesus

Sleeping Jesus is a Rock and Roll band started by Nick Elstad in Winona, MN. The now five-piece Minneapolis band, featuring Tyler Steinley, Andy Bauer, Seamus St. Clair, and Dante DeGrazia, just released their new album, Hollywood Smile, which peaked at #22 on the NACC top 200. Hollywood Smile 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. After celebrating the release at First Avenue's 7th St Entry, the band will be touring and playing festivals throughout 2024.
