CD Review!! - July 12, 2010
"For a guy who just recently quit his day job to cut a CD and pursue his musical dream, Casey – and his eponymous CD – is stunningly good. Armed with an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and a gift for turning a phrase, Casey manages to breathe new life into the rather stale folk genre. Upbeat and propulsive, “Rock Star Voodoo” is a plea to a lover to help him hold on to a fading relationship amidst the swirl of big city dreams.
In the typical folk tradition, these are straightforward songs with rather simple arrangements, but Casey’s voice – conveying just the right mix of sincerity and grit – and his effective pacing, is likely to get you bobbing your head or tapping your foot — or both. On “Boy With Guitar,” Casey makes a plaintive case for following his dream. “Our teachers lie when they say you can’t get by on doing what you love,” he sings. Here’s hoping Casey is right."

This is a pretty big deal, since there are only two other finalists, and then a grand prize winner (which has already been selected and is not me).
My understanding is that they receive thousands of submissions from all over the world.
Thanks for your support,
