🎵 Live Music: Sleep John B
September 27, 2025 @ 4:15 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
🎶 Live & Local at Kleman Plaza – Saturday, Sept 27 🎶
Welcome to the sonic soul of the festival—where the lawn becomes a stage, the city becomes a soundtrack, and you become part of the vibe.
Sleep John B is an indie/alternative band focused on the songwriting efforts of Tallahassee by way of Atlanta songwriter and keyboardist John Brashears. Boosted to new heights by the low ends provided by Zak Kahn, carefully curated guitar timbre of Brandon Hanks, and the raw power of percussionist Will Hollimon, Sleep John B’s eclectic and emotional sets transport audiences to an ethereal, cathartic place.
Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and festival spirit. Grab a bite or sip something tasty from our food and beverage vendors, and explore pop-up shops from some of our favorite local legends: Cap City Video Lounge, Rearview Vintage and Vinyl, Midtown Reader, 621 Gallery, and Tallahassee Film Society.
🎥 As the sun sets, stick around for a film under the stars: a special 30th anniversary screening of Empire Records (1995). Because nothing says “local love” like music, movies, and a lawn full of good people.
