“You’ll Forgive Me”
The Sleeping World EP
The Sleeping World

Lancaster based, The Sleeping World features original songs by Jessica Smucker Falcon. Emerging onto the Philly music scene as an indie rock band, The Sleeping World brings a new take on sinister love songs. The Sleeping World however isn’t just making sappy love songs to cry to. They strive to create music that will make an impact on the world. Looking inward, Falcon opens her heart to listeners, sharing her joys and pains. Having been compared to 10,000 Maniacs and Over the Rhine, The Sleeping World is a force to be reckoned with on stage. Luckily for you, this talented band has quite a few live dates in the near future.
Do not miss their CD Release Show this Saturday, August 23rd at The Chameleon Club in Lancaster!!

Today on the Leicht Lunch:

Today Helen played a handful of songs during the Leicht Lunch by The Dave Matthews Band in memorium of their saxaphone player LeRoi Moore. The songs played were “Stay,” “Too Much,” and “Seek.”
As said in the bands official statement:
“We are deeply saddened that LeRoi Moore, saxophonist and founding member of Dave Matthews Band, died unexpectedly Tuesday afternoon, August 19, 2008, at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in Los Angeles from sudden complications stemming from his June ATV accident on his farm near Charlottesville, Virginia. LeRoi had recently returned to his Los Angeles home to begin an intensive physical rehabilitation program. “

Thank you for your wonderful music, LeRoi.
