Well, that was fast. Ferraby’s gone from unknown to beloved (by us) in a span of 24 hours. Impressive! After telling you to watch out for him, it was only fair for us to do the same — and so we braved the rain and hit Pianos for Lionheart’s NYC debut (before running to Webster for Basement Jaxx — post TK).
The set was solo, and hearing the tunes stripped of Ferraby’s deft arrangements and harmonies was a great way to get to know the guy. When he’s at his piano, there’s a lot of Rufus Wainwright — from posture to melody to waltzing chord inversions — and it sounds great. But he leaves Rufus with his guit-and-harmonica folk. Ferraby’s got dimension, songs, and a crazy fucking name (by birth!). What’s not to love?
One more song from his EP for ya. (It was too good last night not to post!)
Enjoy.

hey scott – you were at bjaxx? i was there too. never seen such a jumping crowd before, amazing show.
i am sure you’ll post more about it but…i was all like….wow.
i was kinda drunk too so i think that helped a lot.
the 1 song encore was kind of a bummer though – i really wanted to hear “crazy itch radio” but…alas…no lead off single.
This song sucks.
Van is a deaf douche. Song is awesome, seriously. When is he back in NYC?
