在廣州首席布魯斯樂隊The SleepWalkers（夢遊人樂隊）裡，有著一位來自浪漫法蘭西的貝斯手，他叫Anthony Chevanier。
Anthony來自法國，是一個擅長Funk、Fusion和布魯斯音樂的貝司手。他曾經是彈Ukulele，後來發現他的手指比較粗大，所以選擇了彈貝司。當初他媽媽很失望，還好現在他終於證明了自己是一個優秀的貝司手，她媽媽最終還是原諒了他，並邀請他回家過聖誕節。Anthony在廣州待了好幾年了，經常和一些樂手組樂隊演出（包括The SleepWalkers）。
最近一年來，他主要是在The SleepWalkers裡，這個樂隊裡的樂手都來自全世界，都生活在廣州，都不甘平庸的日常，於是湊在一起，把他們自己寫的布魯斯歌曲打磨成熟，並親力親為地錄製了出來！這是就他們的首張創作EP《BoneYardMoan》。

然而，就在這個時候，Anthony Chevanier卻選擇了回法國。
也許，時間真的到了。
今晚，將是Anthony Chevanier在The SleepWalkers裡的最後一場演出，朋友們，過來和他道個別吧！
Best wishes to Anthony Chevanier!

Not only with a diverse set of musicalinfluences the band also draws flavor from having not one, but three vocalistswho take turns singing the lead.

The SleepWalkers @2016中法夏至音樂節
「夢遊人」樂隊成立於2015年中國廣州的一個秋季。這個樂隊的布魯斯歌曲的創作基礎來源於ChrisMartin和Cliff Johnson，但是每位成員獨特的成長背景和影響力才是賦予這個樂隊獨一無二的聲音的關鍵。樂隊中兩位吉他創作者受JimiHendrix、 the Grateful Dead、BobDylan、TheBand、JackWhite、Muddy Waters、Howlin Wolf 和theAllman Brothers等音樂人的風格影響，其他樂隊成員用他們關於funk、fusion、jazz、reggae和gospel等音樂風格的獨特見解去完整樂隊的風格與創作。樂隊不單擁有多樣化完整的音樂風格，還以不僅僅只有一個主唱，而是三個人聲輪流擔任主唱的方式，獲得一些不同的風味。他們剛完成了他們的首張叫「BoneYardMoan」的EP，這張EP在「夢遊人」樂隊的豆瓣主頁上可以下載收聽。

「樂隊成員BandMembers」
Cliff Johnson--吉他/主唱
▼
Cliff Johnson來自加拿大，在大學期間與一些國內最受尊敬的音樂人學習爵士吉他。雖然他大部分的聲音是來自於對布魯斯深深的熱愛。他參與了歌曲創作的部分，在樂隊擔任主音吉他、節奏吉他和木吉他的演奏，同時還是主唱以及合聲。他還對音樂的製作過程感興趣，參與了樂隊的首張EP大部分的製作。
Cliff Johnson is from Canada and studied jazz guitar in college with someof the countries most respected musicians. Though the main part of his sound is derived from a deep love of theblues. He shares the songwriting duties,plays lead and rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, as well as sings lead and background vocals. He's also interested in the production of themusic and was heavily involved of the production of the bands first ep.
Chris Martin--吉他/主唱
▼
Chris Martin來自美國。雖然作為樂隊的吉他手，但是他在大學期間是學習鋼琴，這種訓練讓他全面地了解了歌曲創作的技巧。他還是60年代的布魯斯音樂的忠實粉絲，這一點也經常在他歌曲創作中體現。Chris也在樂隊中擔任主音和節奏吉他以及主唱和合聲的部分。
Chris Martin is from the US. Although a guitar player he was trained as a piano player in collegegiving him a thorough understanding to the mechanics of songwriting. He is also a big fan of the blues based musicthat grew out of the sixties and thats often reflected in his songwriting. Chris also plays lead and rhythm guitar andsings both lead and background vocals.
Tony Bott--鍵盤/主唱
▼
Tony Bott同樣來自美國。在學校接受傳統打擊樂的訓練，Tony的音樂能力是廣泛的。他將在Sam不在的時候擔任鼓手，在Anthony不在的時候用左手演奏貝斯，他還擔任主唱以及合聲。除了在首張EP中演奏多種多樣的打擊樂器，他還會演奏風琴、鋼琴以及鍵盤。
Tony Bott is also from the US. Trained in school as a classical percussionist, Tony's musical abilityis wide reaching.

Anthony Chevannier--貝斯
▼
Anthony Chevannier來自法國，他也學習了幾年的爵士音樂，但同時他還是保持著對funk、jazz、fusion等音樂的熱愛。他的低音通常為歌曲創作過程帶來新鮮的元素，那是樂隊音樂不可缺的一部分。
Anthony Chevannier is from France and he also studied jazz music forseveral years, but also keeps to his roots and love of funk music and jazzfusion music. His bass grooves ofterbring an element of freshness to the songwriting process that's an integralpart of the bands sound.
Sam Pioka--鼓手
▼
Sam Pioka來自剛果。他是樂隊中最年輕的成員，在歌曲創作方面他受到的影響是最不傳統的，但就是這個簡單的事實為我們節奏方面帶來了特別效果。他從小聽著自己國家的音樂長大，直到後來才接觸美國音樂。這讓他給樂隊的音樂提供了一種非常獨特的風味。Sam還非常活躍於他的教堂樂隊，這無疑將我們的作品帶到不同的高度。
Sam Pioka is from D.R Congo. He'sthe youngest member of the band who's influences are the least traditional interms of where the songs are coming from, but its that simple fact that bringsa special sound to the rhythm section. Growing up listening to his countries music and not being exposed toAmerican styled music til much later has given him a very unique flavor to thesound of the band. Sam's also active in his church band, a sound that no doubthelps bring our sound to a different place.
