Capitol Music Group debut artist Ferras has confirmed a month-long series of tour dates opening for fellow singer-songwriter Ryan Cabrera. Ferras will join Cabrera starting June 1st in Baltimore, MD through June 24th in Milwaukee, WI.
The lead single "Hollywood's Not America" from Ferras' debut album Aliens & Rainbows (Capitol Records) became an instant hit after it played as the exit song during the Hollywood elimination phase of television ratings champ American Idol, early in the spring. Over 240,000 digital downloads have been sold online during the song's eleven-week Billboard Hot 100 chart run, and "Hollywood's Not America" has also hit the Top 20 in the adult-targeted Hot AC radio format.
"I love playing live shows and having the opportunity to share my music with people," said Ferras, who acknowledges Elton John, David Bowie, Queen and The Beatles among the central influences of his music. "I'm excited to be a part of Ryan Cabrera's tour."
Since the April 1st release of Aliens & Rainbows, produced by The Matrix (Avril Lavigne, Jason Mraz, Korn) with Gary Clark (Natalie Imbruglia, Lloyd Cole), the 25 year old Ferras has been a constant presence on the live stage and television screen. He has toured nationally with A Fine Frenzy, headlined a high school tour in conjunction with Nickelodeon's The N, and performed numerous radio shows, including an electrifying performance in front of 17,000 at New York's Z-100 "Zootopia" show, along with The Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Jesse McCartney, New Kids On The Block and Sara Bareilles. Among his many regional and national television appearances are performing slots on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and the Today show as well as CBS' The Early Show. In addition to the dates with Ryan Cabrera, Ferras will continue his series of radio promos (schedule below), and will appear at Lollapalooza on August 2nd, and at the Halsted Market Days Festival on August 10th in Chicago.
