04 February 2024
Singer/Songwriter Stefan Schwerdtfeger spent his childhood in the U.S.A., and later moved to Germany, from where
he began his lifetime project BIG SLEEP.
BIG SLEEP's debut album EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE immediately became a surprising and great success in Greece. The single "Looking For A Girl With A Washing Machine" is still being played in rock radio and rock bars alike.
The following CD MOONLIT DAYS - recorded 1994 in the South-West of France - opened possibilities for concert tours in Ireland, Netherlands, Italy and France. Soon Stefan was also collaborating with songwriting colleagues such as Nikki Sudden and the Jacobites, Phil Shoenfelt, Terry Lee Hale, and Mike Scott of the Waterboys.
In 1995 he moved to Greece, where he still creates and performs today. Since then he has recorded two more albums there, THERMAIKOS (1999), and WITH GOD AND HER SISTERS (2001), produced by Chris Eckman of the Walkabouts.
For six years he was also a member of the Greek top band MPLE (Blue).
In 2008, as "BIG SLEEP acoustic", Stefan presented his new album WHITE ROOM. It contains 16 intimate songs that are performed with acoustic guitar and voice exclusively.
In 2022 the new single KEEP YOUR HEAD ON was released online, featuring Ernst Ströer on drums/percussion and Michael Grammatopoulos Murphy on guitar.
In February 2024 all long sold-out BIG SLEEP albums will be released on streaming and download platforms.
