Sleep Stampede

An Introduction.

Jacqueline, the singer-songwriter behind Sleep Stampede, is based in Flagstaff, AZ. Over the past ten years, she has toured the mountain and coastal west with her original songs that span the topics of love, loss, heartbreak, belonging, friendship, sense of place in nature, and rage towards the patriarchy and late-stage capitalism.

Jacqueline has released two EP’s in her music career. After the release of her first solo EP, Birdfeeder, Sleep Stampede evolved into an indie-folk duo in Flagstaff with John Ford, a songwriting and performance collaboration which lasted five years, culminating in the release of Jacqueline’s second EP, Sleep Stampede. Since Ford left the collaboration in 2026 to pursue other paths, Jacqueline has continued on with Sleep Stampede as a solo artist, often bringing in other artists to collaborate with.

Above all else, Jacqueline is a songwriter with a passion for bringing people together over music and the creative process. She has written and co-written over 50 songs, hosts a local Songwriting Club, and co-founded Folk, Etc, a songwriter showcase event series. Her love for curated experiences can be seen in her Seasonal Celebration Concert Series, held eachSolstice and Equinox, where she hosts a live acoustic show followed by an intentional community ritual intended to facilitate a mindful transition from one season to the next through music, storytelling, connection, nature, and personal reflection.

“We were fortunate enough to have Sleep Stampede play at our wedding this past fall. Jacqueline and John are both phenomenal musicians and their folk vibes fit in perfectly with our desert bohemian wedding. They were willing to learn songs for our ceremony and also even played one of their amazing original songs. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed their performance and our special day would not have been complete without it.”

“Having Sleep Stampede play at our wedding was a wonderful experience. The music itself was beautiful, it fit perfectly with all the big emotions of a wedding, and they were also good at playing within the context of the event. We wanted someone who could add beauty to the experience of walking down the aisle without being distracting from the event itself, and they found that middle ground perfectly. In the midst of a stressful wedding setup, they were able to play the perfect way, in the perfect place, without adding any stress to the situation. I highly recommend having them join you for your wedding day, they are lovely musicians, and wonderful people.”

“We hired Sleep Stampede to perform at our wedding cocktail hour. They were absolutely wonderful. We got so many compliments after our wedding about the musicians. Jacqueline’s voice is beautiful and the overall vibe was perfect. They were kind enough to do a few songs we requested that were so special to us and coordinating with them was easy. 10/10 would recommend!”
