Ryan Star Headlines @ Zoeys Cafe

Frequent friend of RSF Liza got the chance to check out Ryan’s concert at Zoeys Cafe in Ventura, CA last night, where he was the headlining act. Here’s a snippet of her review:

Ryan played 14 songs, I believe, and did a lot of songs outside of the norm, including “The Fairy Tale”, which I’m not sure he’s ever played live. It doesn’t exist on YouTube, that’s for sure. And it still won’t since he specifically asked us all not to put it up there. Sorry, peeps! He also did “Flag” in honor of 9-11, “You and Me”, “The One You Know”, and a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows”, as well as “Last Train Home” on piano, which I had only heard on guitar before.

She also got great quality audio/video of Ryan sing ing “You & Me” which is a track he seems to rarely perform (I think this is the only other video of it up on youtube).

Check out her whole review, as well as another pic, on her blog Water Cooler Convo.

Ryan Performing At The SLS Hotel Yesterday

My friend Liza was lucky enough to win tickets to see Ryan at the SLS Hotel yesterday, where his set list included Brand New Day, Right Now, Last Train Home, 11:59, Somebody’s Son, Breathe (and an impromptu rendition of “Barbie Girl”). She also said she spotted an 11:59 tattoo in the audience, wow! Here are a couple of videos she took:

Ryan Covers ~Magic Rainbows

Thanks to Liza over at Water Cooler Convo for finding this gem! At his show in Oklahoma yesterday, Ryan put on an impromptu performance of David Cook’s “hit” song “Time of Your Life” (better known as ~*magic rainbows*~). Check it out below:

Full Studio Verson of “Brand New Day”

I was searching around on youtube today and found this, a full studio version of the song “Brand New Day”, which just might be my favorite song from Ryan’s upcoming album (that, LTH and TCBTY). And in case you didn’t know, it’s the title track on the FOX show “Lie to Me”.

This version sounds great, and I still love the acoustic version:
