Ferraby Lionheart, a Los Angeles transplant from Nashville,Tennesse, lives in a studio apartment in Korea Town. He owns a guitar and a piano. He idolizes Shel Silverstein and Judy Garland. Ferraby recorded his self-titled EP in the living room of his small apartment. Except for track six, “Something to Love”, which was recorded in the kitchen.

This is the solo debut for the singer/songwriter from Nashville. Till now, Ferraby has fronted the exquisite pop rock outfit Telecast who, after forming in 2003 immediately attracted attention from musical higher-ups in Los Angeles. Jon Brion, famed and exalted, genius producer, film scorer and artist in his own right, attended Telecast’s second show. Later Jon gave Ferraby’s songwriting his personal seal of approval with an impromptu duet one Friday night at Brion’s legendary Hollywood show. Telecast recorded a self-released EP with Joey Waronker at NRG in N. Hollywood, which was picked up by UK indie label, Falsetto Records.

A prolific and maturing songwriter/producer, Ferraby now delivers an astonishingly beautiful and intimate solo effort, and with no help from a record label has surprisingly attracted the most attention thus far, receiving airplay on a half dozen (major) indie stations across the country, glowing online reviews, and thousands of passionate Myspace fans, all within a few months. His music, overflowing with soft, heartfelt melodies, and gracious insights into love and loss, hopefully provides a glimpse at what is to come from the slight, dark-haired songwriter from the South. The new EP weaves an effortless blend of classic pop, folk, and country tunes into a kind of elegant and shimmering quilt, a cover, an escape-a work which bears both a quiet poetry and an aching secret. Ferraby Lionheart’s timeless songmanship is truly the mark of a classic in the making.
