Casey James has a near full concert schedule, new interviews, pics and more!

Hey everybody, I'm back and my internet is fixed for now.  So I'm going to get this posted before something happens again!!  I can tell you right now....."Crying on a Suitcase" is doing great this week ..... it rolled in at an impressive #37 with a bullet, up three from last week!!  If it keeps up at this pace, It'll be in the Top 10 before we know it!!  :)  So please, keep requesting the single at your local radio station.  If you can't get through, just keep trying....you will.  And for those who would like to request but not by phone, you can email your local DJ and ask for it, or email the Program Director and request it, or you can click HERE and request from the Mediabase request forms.  Just put in your name and the code and check Casey's song, but if it's not there, there's also a place to write in your request at the bottom.  I'm sorry to sound like a broken record, but I just want to remind everybody how imperative it is to get those requests in.....it's what helps to get it played so more people can hear it!!  ;)

This past weekend was a whirlwind of shows....and it looks like it's gonna be the same way most weekends till the latter part of the year.  Casey is busier than ever, and chances are, he'll be playing a show near you sometime soon!  Check the sidebar for Upcoming Shows to find one you can get to and show your gratitude for his awesome music!!

I found some videos from last weekends shows, and on the first one, listen close to what he says in the very first part of the video.....he tries to keep a straight face, but ultimately breaks out in laughter!!  Haha!!!

So Sweet   (Thanks to luvcaseyjames for this awesome video)



Love the way you miss Me (thanks to luvcaseyjames)




Crying on a Suitcase (thanks to luvcaseyjames)



Also at the 3 shows last weekend, covering  Ft. Wayne, IN, Angelica NY and Twin Lakes MI.  there were lots of pictures coming in and here are just a few of the random shots.

Thanks to Diane Gruner for these breathtaking shots!






Thanks to Cyndee for these from Ft. Wayne
'gotta love the man bun'....


The Country Thunder Stage (thanks to anonymous) 






Woo Hoooo!!!  Those are some nice shots!  Casey has some very talented fans out there!!  Thanks to all who shared all of them with us!!

Casey has had a couple of interviews lately and they are very good!!  The second one, I think has been posted before, but I don't remember it.  So here it is again.

About a week ago, we got the word that Casey was filming the video for "Crying on a Suitcase", and that was why he was growing the beard.  (It was getting bigger & darker & we were puzzled)  It was for the beginning part of the video, I think...???  Anyway, from what I gather the theme was to be a torn man, looking a bit unkept because of the loss of a woman.  In this video he is playing a weathered guitar as well, that sounds phenomenal...by the way..... and the man who owns the guitar (for real) did several videos of Casey jamming on his Kelton Swade 1957 AVR-S guitar.  I wish I knew what all that meant, but the only thing I understand is the date.... lol....and thats pretty much antique at 55 years old..... I'm gonna google that soon....
When you click on it to watch, make sure you click on the you tube at the bottom, and let it take you to the YouTube page, then on the right sidebar you will see a few more of the videos he did of Casey jamming out.  It's just so soothing and real to just listen and watch him in a most relaxed atmosphere, playing lick after lick with runs and riffs.... Casey in his element.....ahhhhh.....nothing better..... I just love it!! 
We have word the video is finished, but no date of release has been set as yet.



A haaa.....Thanks to sweet Jen L. we now have a playlist with all these videos on it, in one place.....Enjoy.....and click HERE.  And thanks so much to Kelton Swade for sharing!!

Obviously Casey has a new Road Manager (I think?) and this one is a guy named Mark.  And from what the fans are saying this is a pretty cool guy.  Well, look at this, and tell me how cool he is......LOL!!!!   I love this guy already!!!!!   This is his comedic view of Casey and the band's recent obsession with sushi!!!   OMG!!!!!!!   that is too funny!!!!!



 I hope he updates us every week like this!!!  :)

Ok, yall....I'm outta here, my neck is killing me..... later taters ....... I'll be back later..... :)

  1. Yay! Cryin' on a Suitcase is moving up!!!
    If Casey does have another single, I really like "Miss Your Fire". I notice he hasn't been playing this on his tour--wonder why. Genilu

  2. I'm thinking that is just what they call an album song. I like it too, but I just don't think it has the memorability of some of the others. I'm hoping he gets 4 or 5 singles out of this album, because it certainly has the material for more singles!!
