Ryan Star
Ok so I have yet to mention that Ryan Star, David Cook’s opening act, put on a really great show as well. He really gets no recognition at all and I’d say he is damn good at his job. He is a great singer and he has an album 11:59 coming out later this year and single off that album ‘Last Train Home’, was featured on the soundtrack for the 2007 film, P.S. I Love You.
A bit more trivia about Star:
The New York native’s real name is actually Ryan Kulchinsky and when he was 14 he formed a first band called Stage that released a handful of EPs, and a self-titled album on Maverick Records in 2003. He also was a contestant on CBS reality show Rock Star Supernova, but he didn’t win.
Lastly, he is a very tall man who fails around uncontrollably while performing and Saturday night decided to climb on a speaker, injuring his finger. He later told me that it “Bleeping hurt” and I hope he feels better soon.
