Backyard Brunch Sessions – Nicole Atkins with Special Guests The Spinning Leaves
Posted on 09. Jul, 2010 by Karri Wells.
My neighbor David Chaitt has been doing a series of Backyard Brunch Sessions this summer. He basically works out a menu with the performing band, they cook it together in his home, he invites a bunch of friends over, feeds everyone, and then the band does an acoustic set in his backyard. His production partners west egg productions and nyctaper capture everything. For the first episode of the series, Nicole Atkins and The Spinning Leaves performed. Nicole has an absolutely incredible voice, it was pretty awesome to see her perform in such an intimate venue.
Check out the video below for a recap and hear Nicole perform ‘Cry Cry Cry’. If you can’t see it click here
You can download audio from the set over at nyctaper. If you like what you hear, go buy her album Neptune City.
I’m looking forward to what David has in store for the rest of the summer! It sounds like he has some surprises up his sleeve!

I’m not sure there are even words to completely describe what you are about to watch. I laughed, I cringed, and now I am sharing it with you. Is this brilliant? Or the most ridiculous effing thing you’ve ever seen?

Scene of the accident
This morning I was walking to work, cutting through McCarren Park, when suddenly I felt a sharp pain between my big toe and big toe’s buddy second toe. I look down to see that a rogue chopstick has stabbed the delicate skin between my toes. Of course I am wearing flip flops that are now stained with blood, which is ok, because I figure it gives me street cred. I should mention that said chopstick was randomly lying on the infield of a track. WTF, who eats Chinese food at a track? Not the first place I’d go to enjoy a pu pu platter.
In other news, I am now a huge mustard fan. Not that gross French’s mustard crap in the squeeze bottle, but the spicy brown kind.
Completely unrelated, you should listen to Knotty Pine – a bouncy little tune from David Byrne and the Dirty Projectors off the Dark Was the Night compilation. Loves it.
