The last time we spoke with Sleepy Wonder we were presenting him with a Virginia Reggae award for favorite producer. Well, we have been told that Sleepy Wonder and his musicals partners (Thievery Corporation) created major hype and frenzy at a recent taping of an upcoming edition of Austin City Limits.
It wasn't his production skills at work this time, it was his chanting skills. The airing date for the recording is unknown at this time but you can bet we will be looking forward to seeing this Virginia based reggae artist rock Austin City Limits. Sleepy continues to prove that he is a one of a kind reggae artist. It's no accident that the latter part of his moniker is Wonder! Jr. Gong was the last Reggae artist we saw on Austin city limits. The show was magnificent. Here is the set list:
