Casey James to rock the South, new merchandise store, new twitter name, pics, videos and more!

Hey everybody....how's it going?!  I've been working on some fall cleaning so I've been gone much longer than I anticipated!  But I'm back now and do we have some great stuff to talk about today!!  There's so much going on with Casey, I'm afraid I'm going to have to start posting every couple days, or else just pic out the most important, and post it.  I remember a while back saying I would be glad when there was so much news I had to pick and choose what was the most important because I wouldn't be able to keep up with all of it!  Haha!!  Well, I'm happy to report....it's getting there....he's getting to be a hot item all over the country, and he is gaining new fans every day!!

I need to tell everyone first, that Casey has changed his twitter name from @CaseyEJames TO @caseyjames .  So if you are a new fan and ya want to follow Casey on twitter, that is the new twitter name.   He operates his own twitter, and randomly tweets with the fans, whenever the urge strikes him.  So don't be afraid to ask him a question or comment him on something on twitter.  He tends to have "twitter parties", and if you ask him something or comment then, you will have a better chance to make sure he sees your tweet, although he has told us many times, he reads every one of his tweets we send him.


Last week Casey was on the syndicated TV show called Better TV, and we now have a video of the performance and the interview, in two seperate videos!  :)  check them out below....

Casey James Performs

Casey James Interview

Casey James hung out in the PEOPLE studios last week and chatted about his new single and his favorite fans.  And he was meditating while at the People studios..... hmmm he looks very serious, and peaceful :-)  .....  ...... Maybe this will help him rest better when he goes to bed ..... Ok moving on.....

Casey James talks with People Country

 Here is an article from the Tampa Bay's radio station WQYK 99.5 titled "The real reason Casey James has long hair."  Click HERE to read it.  Grab some tissue.....

We got some  very exciting news the other day from "Taste of Country", when they announced that Casey would be headlining the "2012 Taste of Country Christmas Tour"  Joining him on this southern states, 11 stop sweep will be another Texas band " JB & The Moonshine Band  "  Ok....I really did giggle a little the first time I read the name of that band..... Let me guess......ummmm they must be a Hillbilly group....no, a pop group......no....of course....they are a Bluegrass band!!  :-)  Actually I'm just joking around, but they are good, I listened to some of their music, which has a little side of country/bluegrass/lite rock sound....with some nice guitar licks and banjo picking throughout....very nice indeed.  Click their name above to go to their channel to hear some of their music.  Here is the list of cities and states where all this fun is taking place!!  I don't think they've released the venues of each one yet, but I'll update yall as soon as I know!  Come on Southern people, let's fill these venues up and show Casey how much we care!!

There is another interview, and this one is with "Taste of Country".... and he dishes on several things!  Click the link and check it out!!  Very good interview!
Ok, yall....I saved the best for last!!  Everybody is talking about how "awesome", how "incredible", how "fantastic", how "amazing" the show in Marietta, Georgia was over the weekend!!  I sure wish I could have been there, because I love it when a bunch of fans are together supporting Casey in an incredible way!!!  Casey had family there as well,  his Momma, Debra, and his Aunt Sherry were there for this awesome show!!  Casey did something I don't think he's ever done before, that I've seen!!  He pulled his momma up on stage with him, to not only introduce her to his fans, but to also let her play his McPherson Guitar and sing a duet with her!!  And there were several videos of this as it happened!!!  :)


Here is a beautiful version, big THANKS to rjnelson785 for this awesome video!!
"Angel From Montgomery...."
 


Another song that got the crowd all excited, was "Georgia"!!!  And of course, he's IN Georgia, so that was a gimme!!  And did he EVER tear it up!!!  Woooo Hooo!!  I love it when Casey does the Blues.....man.....there ain't nothing better!!!  And I'll thank rjnelson785 again for her fabulous videos!

"Georgia"

Here are a few pictures captured from that show as well!!  Very good ones too!!  I know some belong to North Georgia State Fair, so thanks so much to them.
This first picture is a little boy named Marcus.  Marcus is blind, and loves Casey James music.  He is the grandson of one of our biggest Casey fan sista's....Cindy Hodges, who is from Georgia.  She was just so proud to have Marcus meet Casey.  And it was one of those moments.....tissue please..... Here is Cindy's heartfelt story that will have you in tears, so like I said.....better get those tissues.....

 
I want to Thank You so very much for posting the write up of Casey meeting with marcus and giving him Special attention. this was the best night of Marcus's life and He will never forget it!Marcus hasn't stopped smileing since that night and talks about meeting Casey James with every breath he takes every day!

Glenda if you thought the pic's of this meeting and reading the write up about how marcus sees differently than we do because he's blind and he got to see Casey by touching his hair and face brought tears to your eyes; Then I would Like to share a piece of Marcus's evening with you now, so get out the tissue's again because when I heard about this from family members that was sitting with him tears rolled from my own eyes.Marcus's favorite song from Casey's CD is "Let's Don't Call It A Night" ...OMG! tears Gal! get the tissue ready!! Here we go.. when Casey started Playing and singing that song Marcus got up and was getting down big time Danceing and singing every word of the song along with Casey. It brought a smile to his family's face to see Marcus so happy and having so much energy to dance and sing the song as Casey was singing it!

I also would like to Thank @CyndeeMN for taking these pic's and Gail for shareing this special meeting with you and all the fans.

This next picture belongs to Gail V. and she wrote the following paragraph about the picture.  Thanks so much Gail, this brought tears to my eyes, and probably many others, because this is just the sweetest thing ever....just beautiful.  Thank you...

This is so precious. It is my friend Cindy Mccoy Hodges grandson Marcus "seeing" Casey James for the first time. Marcus see's differently than we do because Marcus is blind....It was also his first time to hear Casey live and Casey took the time to give Marcus some special attention..... it is also one of the many reasons that we love and promote Casey... ♥


Oh my.....after that,  theres not a dry eye on my face....this is just precious!





Those were some very nice shots, right there!!   Well, I'm having trouble posting the videos, so I will just try back in a little bit, I have to go to the pharmacy.  Be back soon to fix it!!

  4. I teared up when I saw the pictures of Marcus and Casey...but Cindy's comment/extentsion of the story broke down the wall. I absoulutly love hearing stories like this. It further proves just how loving and caring Casey is toward every fan he meets. He always tries to make us feel special.

    P.s I think Cindy's extension of the story should be added to the original post so that everyone can read more about that special night for Marcus.

  5. Marietta show was INCREDIBLE. So proud of Casey & Deb (you can hear me yell "that's my baby sister" when they sang together - always brings tears to my eyes). Talked with so many of Casey's loving & considerate fans. He is so blessed! When he was with Marcus, I saw Casey's hand on Marcus's while on his face & then move it to his hair when Marcus asked if it was still long. Just watching them interact made my knees buckle. Know it was a special time for Casey, too. If I'm at a concert, Casey always does a blues song for me (even when he 1st started playing, blues was my favorite). and he burnt it down that nite. Loved having them here!
