Sundance, TWLOHA & Being Human!

Good Day to you!! Just a few things to tell you this fine Tuesday!

SUNDANCE SHOW TOMORROW!

So very pleased to announce that I'll be playing a few songs at Sundance Film Festival! I'll be playing TOMORROW (Jan. 22nd) at the Paste Magazine party at the YouTube Space! I play at 3:30 sharp - Hope to see you!!

I attended last year just to see tons of movies and it has since become a favorite new tradition, so needless to say I'm so honored to get to perform this year!

Details on this show can be found here!

TWLOHA EVENT IN FEB!

I'm super excited to be a part of an upcoming To Write Love On Her Arms event in Rockford, IL! Feb. 6th, I'll be accompanying my pal Jamie Tworkowski at Rock Valley College. Hope to see you there!

Lastly, pleased to hear that my song "In The Embers" was featured last night on SyFy's "Being Human" TV Show! Grab "In The Embers" from my "Atlas: Light" EP here!

That's it for now! Thanks for reading!!!

Much Love, Ryan - Sleeping At Last

P.S. here's a list of things i love right now.

1. Sabra Hummus (when it comes to hummus, it's my fav.) 2. Grapes (i've listed this fine fruit before, but goodness.. i love me some grapes) 3. Lumosity (i've been meaning to get a brain work out… so i'm trying this app out.) 4. Oscars (i love movies. duh. so it's fun to see this fancy fest light up my tv screen each year. and of course to then go see each of the nominated movies.)

Happy New Year! Yearbook Vinyl! & More!

Happy New Year!!! I hope that your 2013 wrapped up more beautifully than you could have imagined - and that 2014 is already feeling like a substantial upgrade!

YEAR: 2013 (THANK YOU!)

2013. What a year. It was my favorite year yet! I’m so very grateful to be able to say that… and I have you to thank! Your support and kindness throughout last year blew me away. Thank you so very much for listening. This year I wrote over 20 songs, which turned out to be my most personal songs yet. Without your ears and support, those songs would not exist. Thank you so much for letting me lean into music and for leaning in with me. So so so grateful for you.

YEAR: 2014

I adore starting over. The older I get, the more I appreciate it. The idea that the whole world says farewell to one year, and welcomes in another together, is absolutely beautiful. But, if I’m being honest, I was a little nervous about 2014... It has a lot to live up to, following in the footsteps of 2013, my favorite year yet. My expectations were/are high. But I think that’s a good thing! Now that we’re 2 days into 2014, I’m feeling pretty confident - this one’s gonna be spectacular!

In 2014, you can expect a TON of new Sleeping At Last music: Atlas: Land - a 4 song EP (coming early this year!), Atlas: Oceans - a 5-song instrumental EP (coming shortly after Land) … and, Atlas continues with the Atlas: Year Two collection (will announce soon!! so excited!)

Plus, there are a heap of announcements that I can't yet talk about... but soon! So very excited to share.

TOP 10 MOVIES

Some of you may already know this...I'm obsessed with movies. Can't get enough of 'em. I saw 106 of them in 2013. (half embarrassed, half proud of that...) I'm also obsessed with making lists. So obviously, here's my annual Top 10 Movies list for 2013 movies!

Anyway, here’s to an incredible 2014!!! Once more, thank you so much for letting my songs into your world.

Much Love, Ryan & Team Sleeping At Last

p.s. here’s a list of things i love right now…

1. Barone's Pizza (just discovered this little hidden gem here in IL. my fav pizza lately.) 2. Settlers of Catan (got any wheat? How about ore?) 3. The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story (great doc about the bros. who wrote many of disney's classic songs)

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

1. Garrett’s “Chicago Style” Popcorn (caramel popcorn + cheese popcorn = mmmmm) 2. Garrett Campagna (an incredible designer who’s been lending a hand to the SAL team lately! this garrett even rules MORE than garrett’s popcorn. truth.) 3. This amazing 2013 Trailer Mashup Video (i love movies!!!) 4. My New House (my wife and i just bought our very first home and we’re so pumped about it!!)
