Sleepwalker's
Station
INDIE-FOLK
... when you give up your house, your studies, a safe job and every form of stability in your life to follow a stony path full of uncertainties because of a dream of playing music for people around the world and living from the thing you love most in life.
I am Daniel and we are Sleepwalker's Station together and alone.
Nice to meet you!
Often I'm asked "are you a band, a trio or a solo artist?".
- We are all of these depending on the situation. I write as a songwriter.
We work as a band. I play solo shows. We play festivals, bigger stages and living room shows.
Sleepwalker's Station are songs that connect a couple of brilliant musicians who love what they're doing and believe in music, this music in particular as it represents me and everybody else who's been part of it over the years.

THE BAND
Experiencing a live concert by Sleepwalker's Station is like going on a smooth little trip around the globe, picking up little impressions and souvenirs from each and every country and region this musical journey takes you to.
With their songs in 5 languages and 4 dialects the Italian-German-Spanish Indie World Folk project manages to blend various styles like indie and folk with more traditional styles like flamenco, tango or music from the Alps and chanson, of course, without losing their authentic original roots.
Each song is a traveling tale about the adventures of the Don Quixote, Sir Captain Franklin, Ulysses’ endless odyssey or Coelho’s Alchemist wrapped in tunes from the west coast of Ireland or the Andes.
When Singer/songwriter Daniel del Valle decided that he wanted to be a full time musician he gave up everything he had in order to follow his dream to live from his music.
Live experience:
On tour since 2011 in changing line ups, playing over 1.000 live gigs across Europe and America.
Including festivals like
Glastonbury (UK), SXSW (Texas), Open Flair (Germany), No sin Música (Spain), MEI (Italy), Westway Lab (Portugal) East side music days (Berlin)…
reviews:
“Whilst unsurprisingly Sleepwalker’s Station compose fairly complex and intricate constructions, the out-put is light and relaxing on the ear.
Through the use of different instrumentation across songs the band delivers a sparkling freshness to each track. With the maturity of the cohesion of the unit, there is a strong bond between the players, which emerges to the audience as confident and sympathetically delivered music.”
Tim Whale, Indie band blog, June 9, 2012
“If beehype was a folk band from Europe, we might sound just like the border-blind collective Sleepwalker’s Station.
Formed in Bergen, Germany, the band has been gaining experience, inspirations, material – and members – for 20 years already. And you can immediately hear it on their new album, “Lorca”, which was recorded with 22 musicians from around Europe.
It’s clearly “folk”, but it’s the most unpredictable version of it.
While the album starts with an instrumental song, it is followed by one sung in Spanish, and then comes a number of other languages and dialects from around the continent – Italian, French, German, English, Catalan, Venetian, Andalusian, Bavarian…” BEEHYPE 03.07.2018
