Local music fans, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 22: Sleepy Fest is coming to Orange County, promising an entire day of art and music!
Located at Down Yonder Farm in Hillsborough, Sleepy Fest gets under way at 1 p.m. and runs until 11 p.m., with ten hours of music from the artists on the Sleepy Cat Records label. Artists include Blue Cactus, Libby Rodenbough, Owen FitzGerald, Chessa Rich, Sunsp.t, T. Gold, and many more – and Steph Stewart of Blue Cactus says there will also be lots of on-stage collaborations between artists as well.
Several of the artists on the Sleepy Fest bill have stopped by 97.9 The Hill studios in recent weeks. Listen to live in-studio performances by Owen FitzGerald, Chessa Rich, and Blue Cactus.
The festival will also feature an arts and makers market, with products for sale from more than a dozen local artisans. There will also be food trucks and beverage vendors, including Vimala’s, Steel String Brewery, Cooks Mill Whiskey, and more.
Sleepy Fest is the brainchild of T. Gold’s Gabriel Anderson and Saman Khoujinian, who co-founded Sleepy Cat Records in 2019 “to nurture and grow our creative community” in the Triangle.
