Casey in Las Vegas

[john]

That drummer and lead guitarist were killer too. As a matter of fact, that lead guitarist bares a very similar resemblance to the lead guitarist on last season's AI.

Ah yes, it all makes sense...

Good eye. That is Tony Pulizzi, guitarist on AI.
"Proficient in many musical styles, Pulizzi creates a mash of jazz harmonies and freedoms within the realms of rock roots with his guitar propelled songs. While his songs are both vocal and instrumental, he plans a show that features all the players whether it is a trio sized group or an 8-piece band. You are going to see individuals brought to the top of their game." http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/musician.php?id=16392

By the way this is the picture featured on his main FB page:

He's a kindred spirit -- right there in Casey and Haley's lanes (rock, jazz, etc):
