Sing for Your Slumber at Tourists
‘Music is central to our spirit here and in 2018, Tourists launched a series called Sing For Your Slumber. ‘It’s a simple idea,’ they say. ‘We invite touring musicians to get off the road for some real R&R at TOURISTS if they’ve got an empty date in our neck of the woods.

‘We provide rooms, meals, and our unrivaled hospitality in exchange for a stripped-down set for fellow guests and local neighbors in our intimate Lodge, 200-year-old farmhouse bar, or outside under the stars. Performances are powered by BOSE. Learn more at view upcoming shows at singforyourslumber.com
