FORWARD: Local music, local parks.

Rochester Public Music is excited to welcome Sleeping Jesus with openers Mike Munson & Mikkel Beckmen on Wednesday, June 17 at Allendale Park. Music starts at 5:30pm, and no registration is required.

Sleeping Jesus is a Minnesota rock band putting their own spin on rock and roll and Americana, blending their favorite elements of modern indie rock with the dusty sounds of your dad's old record collection. At nearly ten years as a band, the group have become experts at genre-hopping, and their newest record "Shotgun" is a true testament to their talent. Like the scatter of a shotgun, on their third and fully self-produced record, Sleeping Jesus spreads themselves across multiple genres, from steel guitar-filled country, 70s reminiscent folk, and bouncy harmony-filled indie rock.

This band has traveled the United States playing their shimmery brand of Americana, indie, and rock and roll, and are excited to bring their powerful music to the FORWARD concert stage. Hear more about Sleeping Jesus here: https://www.sleepingjesusmusic.com/
