Eric Casey

About Me

"The coolest act that has opened for us" - ELLIE (guitarist of Erase Errata) ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- "After just hearing Eric Casey's self produced solo effort 'Just Because You Use Drugs, Doesn't Mean You're A Star' on his newly formed label HIGHER THAN YOU RECORDS, I'd have to agree with his record label's claims. The songs are trippy, highly original, and way out in orbit. Handling all vocals and instrumentation, Casey's talents are obvious..." MICHELLE PICARDO - (Words and Music) Freetime Magazine Nov. 2001. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ "On the acoustic Casey's so called 21st century blues, invokes visions of a young Bob Dylan or Lou Reed. As an electronica musician, his style is somewhat of an East Coast Beck, crossed with flourishes of Kool Keith, and the Doors. His sound is completely original, and his show a must see." GARONIA PARCHMENT - (live reviews) Village Voice Feb. 2006-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- 1st Place "paradigm" - Blue Heron Music Festival Songwriter's Circle 1996-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------- Finalist (pop category) - 2004 Billboard World Song Contest
