Happiest of Tuesdays to you! SPACE 2 EP OUT NOW

I am so very pleased to announce that my brand-new EP, “Space 2" is officially OUT NOW!!

“Space 2” is the latest installment of my “Atlas” project and is of course, the sibling release to “Space 1.” (Side A and B of the same record, if you will.)

Grab "Space 2" now from iTunes (or anywhere digital music is sold!)

HUGE thanks to Sharon Gerber who played Cello gorgeously on the song “Saturn.” She’s such a sweet soul and it pours out through her Cello. So grateful to have her as my guest on this EP! Please check out her solo music, Celloasis! - It’s so beautiful!!

I truly had a wonderful time writing these Space-inspired songs and am so thrilled to share them with you! This EP concludes the Space themed portion of Atlas. Our universe is absolutely stunning in every way imaginable. Thank you for exploring it a little with me in these songs!

I wrote some extended release notes about Space 2 here.

SLEEPING AT LAST + TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES!

I’ve been a longtime fan of TCM, so I’m beyond thrilled to announce that my song “In the Embers” is featured in their yearend “In Memoriam” piece. It begins today and plays sparadically in the weeks to come on TCM. Such an honor. I wrote this song for a dear friend of mine who passed away earlier this year, so it means a lot to me to see this song carry on in this way.

Thank you for reading!! I'm hard at work on the next Atlas EP, "Land" which will release soon!!

Love, Ryan - Sleeping At Last

INVISIBLE CHILDREN

I've teamed up with my pals Invisible Children in their #zeroLRA campaign, which is about helping kidnapped women, children and abducted soldiers return home safely to their families. I would be so very honored if you’d consider lending a hand and helping us do some good this holiday season! Please visit my fundraising page, here!

NEW COVER SONG ON CARRIE DIARIES!

Guess what! (You'll never guess...) I recorded a cover of an 80’s song called “The Safety Dance” (originally sung by Men Without Hats) and tomorrow night (12/6) it’ll be featured on the Sex in the City prequal TV show The Carrie Diaries on The CW!

A couple months ago, I was asked to record a melancholic version of this super fun song for the show and I had such a blast putting it together! So honored to be a part of The Carrie Diaries and hope you’ll tune in tomorrow!

My recording of “The Safety Dance” is available NOW on iTunes - would be delighted for you to hear it! Here!

It was mastered by dear friend, Chris Bethea. The lovely artwork is by the talented, Kyle Barrett.

FREE Christmas Album!

Hey again, friends! I hope you don’t mind us occupying a little more space in your inbox so soon after the last note! Got a few more fun things to announce…

FREE CHRISTMAS SONG (& ALBUM!)

As many of you may already know, each year I record a Christmas cover song and give it away for free. It’s my version of a Christmas card. This has been tradition for many years now… for so many in fact that it has accumulated (like snow) into a full on 13-song Christmas album, I call my Christmas Collection.

This year I chose the John Lennon and Yoko Ono classic, “Happy Xmas (War is Over.)” I had so much fun working on this one - such lovely melodies… it’s almost as if Mr. Lennon was a genius or something! ;) Such a great song. Anyway, I hope you enjoy my take on it and consider it a worthy addition to my ever-growing Christmas Collection.

Download “Happy Xmas (War is Over)” along with the entire Christmas Collection for FREE via the wonderful NoiseTrade!

Get it all here!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Last, but certainly not least, I just wanted to say how very grateful I am for you.
