Small Town Sleeper THE STORY: Beyond the hustle and bustle of city lights, there is a back road that leads to a place still littered with corner stores and candy shops. It is a place where opportunity is homemade, and dreams are self served. It's a place filled with families, friends, and Friday night football games: for Small Town Sleeper, it's a place called home. As a four piece rock band from rural Ohio, Small Town Sleeper knows all to well how to stand out in a crowd. By pouring passionate storytelling into hook filled radio ready pop/rock, STS has drawn national attention receiving number #1 phone requests for several weeks on specialty radio in St. Louis, has charted on numerous websites including Alternative Addictions Top 10 and Radio Indy, as well as appeared on XM Radio RADAR report. Pulling stories from everyday life, and hinting at influences from Mellencamp to Matchbox, it is obvious that for Small Town Sleeper, it's all about the songs...great songs. Working under the guidance of Grammy Winner, Ken Lewis, (producer/mixer/engineer), Small Town Sleeper continue to record and tour throughout the Midwest. With industry buzz starting to build one thing is for sure...Small Town Sleeper is ready to take the leap from small town somethings to big city breakouts. Small Town Sleeper has recently inked a management deal with Union Entertainment Group (www.ueginc.com) making them the "fresh horses" in a stable that includes such artists as Nickelback and Default.

Story behind the song
Lead singer Troy Brown, Prior to making the leap to full time rock artist status, was a daily nine-to-fiver punching the time clock much like many of his listeners. On one particularly sunny day, following a particulary long, rainy period, fate stepped in and the vehicle he was traveling in to work went careening into an enormous lake of water. Troy was literally left swimming for his life as the car filled with water around him. Being one to indulge fate, Troy pretty much took the incident as a sign that it was "sink or swim" time for him as he contemplated his impending musical destiny.
Lyrics
So, I was in my car wasn't going that far just ten miles in the sun Things were going my way it was a brand new day That had just begun heard a love song couldnt go wrong It was all about window down Arm goes out Cruizin' down the road All of a sudden there was a car crash didnt even see it coming it was soo fast watch it all go down now this mishap has left me here with nothing but a car crash and the life it turned around I saw a splash of white And I watched my life Unfolding in my head Am I still alive Maybe that's not right Just wishing I was dead All that I know Is it was slo-mo I couldn't open up the door Window down Arms go out Water coming in All of a sudden I wasnt dreamin Am I swimming for my life But I'm still breathing I had to wonder why there was a car crash didnt even see it coming it was soo fast watch it all go down now this mishap has left me here with nothing But a car crash' And the life it turned around Who would of thought My life would change today I never thought that it would be this way And now I finally see The road in front of me… The road in front of me… there was a car crash didnt even see it coming it was soo fast watch it all go down now this mishap has left me here with nothing but a car crash and the life it turned around It took a car crash to see It took a car crash to see the road in front of me it took a car crash to see…
