From the stages of CBGB and Whiskey A-Go-Go to a recording gig attended by Bob Dylan, Randy Casey’s music career spans more than three decades of twists and twangs starting with his first gig at age 15. A commanding front man and an engaging solo artist, Randy rocks roomfuls of revelers with classic covers and captivates jaded music heads with his own emotive, evocative songs.
His original compositions push the boundaries of what’s expected from a guitar virtuoso with a rock and roots soul. Reviewers christened him a Hip-Hop Hillbilly. His beautifully crafted songs evoke the Rolling Stones jamming with Andy Griffith; a surprising and delicious blend of corn pone meets Brit rock.
