Sleepwater
Sleepwater is raw, melancholic, intense and hypnotizing. The band around songwriter Ad Opstals released their first record in 2010. The album, simply called ‘Sleepwater’, shows all the potential that’s in the band and the music, Americana/Alternative. It's unleashed and subtle at the same time.
The first of November 2012 marks the release of Sunwritten, the second Sleepwater album. On this album Sleepwater shows the giant step the band has made since the first album. The songs have gained intensity, but are still unmistakably Sleepwater, with a vast and often surprising use of instruments. At the same time the video 'The Shadow Of A Smile' is released. Both the album and the video were officially presented on the 9th of November 2012.
After a good number of more-than-positive reviews Sleepwater kicks off 2013 as 'Band of the Week' at MusicfromNL. Also the video 'She's Gone' is released.
In 2018 the latest album "Here we are, where are we" is released. The next step in our evolution. Progress is being made. It took some time to finish it, but the result is astonishing! On our Youtube channel you can watch and listen to two songs of this album.
Sleepwater are Ad Opstals, Edwin Paanakker, Martin de Ruijter en Frans Haarmeijer. Both in the studio and on stage the band performs with a varied number of guest musicians.

Peer Desmense: Pedal steel
Peer is simply one of the best pedal steel masters around. Makes Sleepwater music feel like a shady sun in the afternoon. Refuses to read tabs, but never plays out of tune.
