Biography
From a young age it was Cabrera’s exposure to the Dave Matthews Band which really inspired him to pick up the acoustic guitar and begin his pursuit as a musician. Initially playing in rock band Rubix Groove who supported Cheap Trick and Third Eye Blind, Cabrera embarked on his solo adventure self-releasing his debut album “Elm St” in 2001. Although not a commercial success, the release caught the attention of Atlantic Records and signed with them in 2001.
After years of collating material for his major label debut, Cabrera released the single “On the Way Down” in 2004 peaking at number 15 in the US charts and certifying gold. Later that year he released the album “Take It All Away” produced by Goo Goo Doll John Rzeznik charting at number eight. The album churned out two more hit singles “True” and “40 Kinds of Sadness”.
In 2005 Cabrera released his second album “You Stand Watching” debuting at number 24 in the Billboard charts. The track “Photo” was inspired by Cabrera’s relationship with pop star Ashlee Simpson largely documented in her MTV reality show “Autobiography”. Three years later he released his third album “The Moon Under Water” featuring the singles “I Will Remember You” (which became a fixture on the third season of reality television show So You Think You Can Dance as the exit song) and “Say”.
In 2013 Cabrera launched the bi-monthly web series on Stage It “Live from Ryan’s Living Room” where he invites celebrity guests to perform with him while raising money for charity with past guests including Gavin DeGraw, We The King’s and Billy Ray Cyrus. The following year saw Ryan become the first artist to sign to Dynamite Music and release the single “House on Fire” from his forthcoming EP “Wake Up Beautiful”.
Live reviews
There are thousands and thousands of singer songwriters all doing the same thing. There is a singer songwriter on every street corner it seems. There are singer-songwriters who play the odd song at the odd gig here and there, and then there are the dedicated if a little decedent songwriters like Dallas Texas native, Ryan Cabrera who do tour after tour and album after album. He is a hard working musician, who over the last decade has achieved chart success, released four studio albums, and done countless tours. Not to mention a string of beautiful singers/actresses that he’s dated, of course this isn’t about that what so ever. This is all about the craft that Cabrera has worked so hard at, tailoring his distinct pop/country/rock songs, and keeping his loyal fan base happy. He takes to the stage, acoustic guitar – clad, to a chorus of cheers and screaming and launches into his mid tempo hit, ‘Photo’, it is as though the crowd know every single word, which clearly humbles Cabrera who pushes on through his hour long set. Another highlight is his song, “On the Way Down”, probably the loudest sing along of the evening.
There is a quieter moment when Cabrera takes to the piano for his song true, which the audience this time; are completely silent. You know that an audience appreciate an artist when they respond with such applause, you feel as though it would bring the roof down, but can be so quiet and appreciative that the only noise other than the voice and piano that you hear, is the ventilation system.
