Grey's Anatomy

Yesterday, Tony Award winning actress Sara Ramirez launched her singer/ songwriter career with the debut of her first EP available for purchase and download on iTunes (www.itunes.com). The EP, which is currently #1 on iTunes singer/songwriter chart and #20 on the overall chart, includes three original songs, including "Eye to Eye" (co-written with Michael Pemberton) and "Waitin and Break My Heart" (co-written with Rob Giles of Nettwerk-managed act The Rescues). Also on the EP is Sara's rendition of "The Story" by Phil Hanseroth, which is one of the songs she will sing in next week's highly anticipated "Grey's Anatomy: The Music Event," set to air on ABC March 31, 2011.

Sara Ramirez is on the verge of life-changing moments on television in the current season of Grey's Anatomy as 'Dr. Callie Torres'. Next week's episode will be 'Callie-Centric' according to executive producer Shonda Rhimes and showcase Sara's extraordinary singing talent. This is not an episode to be missed and definitely the year for Sara Ramirez.

As they come off of their sold out Australian and UK tours and prepare to head to Los Angeles for their first N. American date on May 25, Angus & Julia Stone have just announced that they'll join the John Butler Trio on a handful of dates in mid-June, including the Central Park Summerstage. Their US headline tour dates are already beginning to sell out, and the pair will have yet another track ("The Devil's Tears") featured on this Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

Full N. American tour dates are below. Check out what the UK press had to say after the Aussie bro/sis duo's sold-out show at the 2,000 capacity Shepherd Bush Empire on April 22:

“Angus and Julia Stone are a ridiculously talented Aussie bro and sis duo… The packed-out crowd hung on every ethereal folky gem.” -- Daily Star (UK)

“Angus & Julia Stone…have come of age with their second album, Down the Way...Peddling a soft-focused but sometimes surprisingly hard-edged brand of modern folk, the duo draws on elements of Americana filtered through an otherworldly sense of romantic wonder. The darkened Empire stage looked like an enchanted cave, with sprays of bright electric flowers, fairy lights and a heavy cloak of billowing mist. Julia, dressed in a flowing green dress, looked like a sea nymph as she danced barefoot around the stage. She sang the opening number, And the Boys, in a dark, quivering voice that had something of the hippy-siren quality of Stevie Nicks. Angus, who opted for a more agrarian look involving a battered hat and an untended beard, took over the singing for Yellow Brick Road, an aching acoustic-guitar lament that he delivered in a voice as keening and fragile as a desert wind.” –-The Times (UK)

On the heels of a record breaking #1 album in Australia and just a few days before the official release of their sophomore album Down The Way in North America, Aussie brother/sister folk duo Angus & Julia Stone will have music prominently featured in tonight's episodes of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice on ABC. The tracks "Hold On" and "Draw Your Swords" will be heard on Grey's Anatomy (9/8 PM CT) and "Santa Monica Dream" will be featured on Private Practice (10/9 PM CT).
