Song Facts

At a concert in Houston in 2006, Kearney revealed that his song "All I Need" was written based on two of his friends from New Orleans and their story during Hurricane Katrina. "All I Need" was featured on Grey's Anatomy and began to chart on iTunes top 100 downloaded songs.It peaked at #94 on the Billboard Pop 100. It was also featured on NCIS.

Additionally, Kearney's song "Renaissance" was written about friends from Oregon who survived a severe car crash.

His song, "Where We Gonna Go From Here?", was featured during the third season of Grey's Anatomy and on the first season finale of ABC Family's show Kyle XY. Most recently, the song was also featured in the Season 7 opener of NBC's Scrubs.

"Nothing Left to Lose" was the title track and first single off Kearney's second album. It was the sixth most played song on Christian CHR radio in 2006, and peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, week of February 10, 2007.
