Upcoming: Casey Shea at Bowery Ballroom


New York, looking for a show to hit this coming Friday, August 19? He
ad on over to The Bowery Ballroom and catch Casey Shea. He's on the bill with the always fun April Smith and the Great Picture Show and Tally Hall. Doors are at 8PM and it will cost you $15. Go check him out!

Casey Shea spent a handful of years fronting rock bands in Tallahassee and Nashville before setting out for New York City in January of 2004 to focus on a solo career. A gifted performer with undeniable charm, Casey delivers his songs in a unique way that earns him an audience’s devotion…think Bill Murray meets John Lennon. Melody drives diverse songwriting that is at once quirky and heart wrenching, and the result is a rare treat that is both musically gratifying and raucously entertaining.

The charismatic front man has built a six piece band around his solo material where influences such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Beck and Tom Petty shine through in an original sound with an uncommon familiarity right off the bat.
