Guitarist,
vocalist and songwriter Paul Casey unravels modern guitar playing with
upbeat grooves and samples, while never straying from rootsy rhythms and
sounds.
Born in Co. Derry,
Northern Ireland, Casey displays an exceptional command of slide guitar
styles and a unique flair for penning striking tunes. His songwriting,
guitar playing and distinctive voice are causing quite a stir both sides
of the Atlantic and set this Irish talent aside from his contemporaries.
Whether fusing
infectious riffs with intricate Irish rhythms or drawing on musical
snapshots of legendary guitarists, Casey has created a unique, rootsy
blend of modern sounds.
Often compared to
US guitarist Ben Harper, a string of critically acclaimed US performances
- in particular at the Living Room in New York and the prestigious Starr
Hill Music Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia - have resulted in a devoted
and dedicated following Stateside.
Very much at home
playing with full band and slide guitar to the fore, he draws from the
past and present to offer a unique and rare experience. In the past, the
unassuming Casey has performed on the same bill with well-established
artists such as Van Morrison and the John Butler Trio, and also with
performers such as Damien Rice and Gemma Hayes, The Frames and Damien
Dempsey. A tireless worker, a prolific songwriter, an engaging performer,
Paul Casey is a musician for fans of real music.
