Crossover hit Mat Kearney will be featured on 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno' and 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson' on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

On Thursday, Kearney will be singing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno followed up by a Friday performance on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson where he will have a special acoustic performance of his hit single “Nothing Left To Lose.”

Since he was picked up by Columbia Records, Kearney has begun to emerge all over mainstream media.

He is currently one of VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists, a select group of new singers and groups that the network feels are the next big stars.

As part of the VH1 promotion, he and two other upcoming groups, The Feeling and Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, will travel on the “You Oughta Know” tour, highlighting Kearney as the headlining artist.

The tour will commence on Mar. 17 in Denver, ending about a month later on Apr. 20 in Atlanta. The trip will hit 20 major cities across the United States.

Kearney has appeared on other late night programming including The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and Last Call with Carson Daly.

The acoustic vocalist has also had his songs used on many popular TV shows, Grey’s Anatomy being the most notable.
