**Sleepy Driver** is the indie folk-rock brainchild of Hudson Valley-based musician Mike Sembos, blending warm Americana vibes with a knack for storytelling about life’s quiet moments. Known for tracks like "Gas Station Restaurant" and "Bow and Arrow," Sembos crafts songs that feel like cozy road-trip companions, mixing twangy guitars with lyrics that celebrate (or commiserate) the beauty and absurdity of everyday life. His releases—from the stripped-back "Heavy Sleeper (Live)" to the collaborative "Northeastern Chorus" project—showcase a DIY spirit and a willingness to experiment, whether he’s channeling campfire singalongs or leaning into darker, grungier textures. Just don’t expect a predictable sound: Sleepy Driver’s vibe swings from holiday cheer ("Christmas") to introspective musings ("Decomposed") with the ease of someone who’s logged serious highway miles.
