Featured New Artist: Christian Kane!

You may not know his name, but you've definitely seen his face - on the big screen in movies like Just Married and Secondhand Lions, on the small screen in TV shows like Angel and Leverage, and even in other singers' music videos like "So Small" by Carrie Underwood. But now Christian Kane is fighting his way to stardom in the Country music world, and as his debut single "House Rules" proves, he's holding nothing back.
Now, many people are skeptical when actors turn to singing, especially in the Country Music world, but this guy is the real deal. Christian was born in Texas, raised in Oklahoma, and his parents met in the rodeo...doesn't get much more Country than that! He turned to acting in college, but has always included singing in his repertoire...in his first professional acting gig, on the TV series Fame: LA, he played a Country singer. Christian currently stars in the TNT series Leverage, where he plays hard-hitting Eliot Spencer, and recently showcased his singing talents in Episode 306, performing "Thinking of You".
My best friend has a soft spot for Christian (ok, she has the hots for him!) so when he performed at Johnny & June's back in February, we had to go. I must say, when Christian hits that stage, it's no acting job...he puts every bit of energy into his live show and totally rocked the house. (Which was even more impressive when we found out he had the flu! Maybe that's where the acting chops came in...we would have never guessed) His current CD The House Rules was released in December of 2010, and features the title track (see the video below) as well as his current single, "Let Me Go" . If you like your Country mixed with a little butt-kickin' rock n' roll, Christian Kane is your man! Get more info and hear more tunes on his website . Enjoy!

Wow!! Loved your comments on Christian Kane. He is so talented!! I just love his music. He can act, sing, and write (and he does them all very well I might add). The House Rules is a totally awesome video. I can't wait to see Let Me Go!!! Thanks!

Christian Kane is one of the best singers I've ever heard! His voice is warm and slightly husky with a touch of TexOkie accent that just makes him sound real and honest. I've been listening to his newest CD The House Rules constantly since it came out inDec '10 and I'm still in love with it and listen to every song every time. He deserves to go to the very top!
