Sleeper Car

Sleeper Car is a five-piece, folk/alt-country/rock-Americana band that literally fills a room with music. Sleeper Car was formed in the summer of 2005 by singer/songwriter Musikanto and drummer Russ Mallord. Musikanto, a graduate of the Hartford Art School, quickly migrated back to his roots in Chicago and began recording songs for Sleeper Car’s first e.p “Shy Me.” A fusion of acoustic guitar and bass, electric keyboard and violin, pedal steel, drums, and passionate, drawling vocals, Sleeper Car lets each sound find its place in a rich tapestry of auditory stimulation. With an overnight momentum, Musikanto & Sleeper Car quickly found their niche in the Americana/folk scene of Chicago. In 2007, the band recorded their critically acclaimed e.p “Love and Anxiety.” With the lyrical weight of artists like Tom Waits and Elliott Smith, Musikanto's narratives rattle the core of the human spirit. The band celebrates elements of orchestral music, country and Jazz while all the while maintaining the continuity of the American Folk tradition.
