Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Sleep Nation is an alternative rock duo comprised of Merritt (vocals, guitar) and Lauretta (drums). Initially founded in 2010, Sleep Nation has made a name for themselves in the Music City with their own style and energetic live shows.
Their single "I Want You Back" and its accompanying music video got them love from Nashville's rock radio station 102.9 The Buzz in 2014, earning a spot on the station's "Local Buzz Top 25." In 2016, Sleep Nation's single "Slip" off their debut album earned "Local Buzz Cut of the Week."
