About Me

Sleepers is George Osborn making the music I love writing and love playing. I write a wide variety of things, all acoustic but I have influences including Elbow, Radiohead, Bright Eyes, Willy Mason, Sufjan Stevens, Richard Hawlet and numerous other names spring to mind. I'm based in Cambridge, but am looking for gigs around the country (as long as promoters can lend me the pocket money to get there). I'm looking to try out some different music styles, but this is purely for songs that I have written for myself to perform. If you want some music of mine then here it follows:
"Lose the Light" my debut album of sorts is out at
