ABOUT

BIO

"Casey's stage persona is equal parts James Brown, Elvis Presley, and Bono...but then comes the surprise, etched in cursive on the head of a pin. Listen closely, and the songs are beautiful, heartfelt, and wrenching." - MTV News

Casey Shea's work, both recorded and live, has been reviewed by Rolling Stone, Billboard, Paste, NME, MTV, CMJ, The LA Times and The New York Times, and his songs have set the scene in numerous network television shows and movies (One Tree Hill, Friends With Benefits, The Miss Universe Contest, The Gates, Peace Love and Misunderstanding, Mr. Rogers & Me, My Life As A Dead Girl, My Christmas Dream, and more.) His voice has been featured on everything from recordings with major label legends (Rod Stewart) and cult-favorite indie bands (Tally Hall, Wakey!Wakey!) to Netflix show themes (Fresh Fried, and Crispy) and national commercial spots (Toyota, T-Mobile, Lemonade).

The Louisiana native spent over a decade establishing himself as a New York City staple both as a solo act and as a front man of his band before moving to Los Angeles in 2014. He is currently a member of the Los Angeles based band, Grand Canyon.

PRESS

Had Stevie Nicks ditched Fleetwood Mac and joined Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers circa Damn the Torpedoes, this heartland-rock anthem might've found a home on Side A, sandwiched between "Even the Losers" and "Shadow of a Doubt." A flashback to the glory days of Seventies pop-rock, "Standing in the Shadows" lights up with coed harmonies, electric-guitar jangle and California cool.
Rolling Stone

A band that soars with confidence, equally adept at expressing Saturday night fury and Sunday morning reflection
L.A. Times

This is just fantastic...It's new to 2, and it's my current new favorite album, it's called Le Grand Cañon
Whispering Bob Harris - BBC RADIO 2

Mining an amalgam of rock and Americana

Genuine, hook-filled rock 'n' roll. - The Deli

Simply perfect songcraft. - CMJ

Casey Shea is an artist operating at the very top of his game and, by comprising the very best elements of Lennon, Davies and Stills, has captured a sound long since past. Although gloriously retrospective, Shea injects his own sublime, colourful use of language which, in turn, propels his songs to a far higher plain. - Joel Crane (NME, Q, Mojo)

Hushed and hopeful. - The New York Times

Full of charm, sophistication, and straight up fucking rock and roll. - The Robot Soul

As if John Lennon were still alive today and collaborated with Ryan Adams. - Underrated Magazine

Casey Shea demands attention, even at his quietest moments, and you can't help but wonder just what planet, time period, or musical incarnation he arrived from. - CMJ.com
