Ellen and Ron prepare to hit the road
Sleepless Nights has been one busy group these days. We returned to Parigot, the lovely French Restaurant on the border of Chinatown and Soho, on Saturday, June 18th. We played two sets that night and a raucous party ensued after the show during which we were informed that a lithesome French beauty wasn’t wearing any underwear. OMG! Unfortunately, she didn’t throw them at me while we were playing or it would certainly have made my year.

Our next gig was on June 23rd at the Stanton Street CSA, a beautiful community garden in the Lower East Side where locals buy fresh produce from upstate. Got to nick a couple of amazing fresh strawberries in the bargain, too! A highlight of the month was a house party that we played in Tribeca on June 28th. There was much eating and drinking, including some very good vintage wine. A video of “Wild Horses” from that concert is included below.
On July 15th we’ll be heading up to Jay, NY to play at the 3rd Annual Jay Clay Invitational Art Exhibition. We’ll be appearing at the main opening event on Friday night, and then do another local gig TBD on Saturday night before heading back to sizzling streets of NYC on Sunday. A well-earned respite from the chaotic urban lifestyle, I must say!
We are also very happy that we will be playing at Bar Chord, a music bar in Brooklyn on Tuesday, August 9th. Bar Chord is in Ditmas, Brooklyn at 1008 Cortelyou Road and they have an impressive lineup of musicians along with an outdoor patio and a great selection of libations. We hope to see you there! -Chris Botta
