Waking Hours

Waking Hours is an ethereal indie rock group based in Minneapolis MN. Molding together the realms of ethereal rock and dream pop to create a whimsically colorful sonic atmosphere. The group recently released their sophomore EP blank stare on February 28th 2025, with lead single what would it take? debuting on the Current's Local Show's Top 5 Debuts.

The band was formed in 2022 with members Liv Hedley, Hayden Tourtelotte, and Henry Lundeen-Deitsch, out of a college jam band with Conor Jolly joining soon after in 2023. The group has been cultivating their sound and approach ever since.

Their Debut EP "it's getting cold out here" was released in December 2023, and was a hit among the local community. The EP was recorded out of a make shift studio in the groups college music building, and was produced by Bob Tyler.

“Waking Hours is creative, collaborative, and passionate in performance. Singer songwriter Liv Hedley is gifted beyond words, sincere, and a consummate artist. Her music is raw, emotional, mature, transparent, and vulnerable. Working with Waking Hours has changed the lives of our students, and we will do it again - more than once. It’s truly artistically refreshing to work with new, creative voices in the genre who are humble, gifted, kind, and driven to share their music with audiences everywhere.”
