Los Angeles folk-pop singer/songwriter Ferraby Lionheart was born in Nashville, TN, and his musical influences range from Shel Silverstein to George Gershwin, Hank Williams, and Cole Porter. In 2003 he began fronting a band named Telecast, which issued an EP via U.K. label Falsetto. Through a mutual friend, Lionheart was noticed by renowned producer/multi-instrumentalist Jon Brion, who invited him on-stage for a song. After a few years with Telecast, Lionheart went solo and self-released an EP he recorded with only a few instruments and limited recording devices. He signed with Nettwerk, which digitally re-released his EP in February 2007, with a debut album due the following summer. In support of the recordings, he secured dates with the Autumn Defense and the Walkmen in late winter 2007. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
