Kira and The Crisis

Kira and the Crisis is essentially Michael Ferraro, a singer-songwriter from northern New Jersey. The "Kira" moniker ties into the general theme of the songs and future album, mostly written on acoustic guitar. Ferraro wanted to distinguish himself from the typical singer-songwriter, so he teamed up with old band mate Mark Redling who transformed the acoustic-based songs with an array of electronic touches, in an approach similar to the Postal Service. The songs have gotten airplay on numerous college and commercial-free radio stations. A considerable amount of his songs have been sold through Myspace with little press and he was recently granted a CMJ showcase. Has extensive live and studio experience. Other musicians provide back up when necessary.
