RE: I'm Casey and I just got signed.
^^^^^^ He's sweet. He even tweeted me an --I love u. I don't know how to copy tweets & put them on here like you all do. I love the tweet you wrote to him Tusk for his BDay. Ive noticed that you are a very good writer in 140 characters or long posts
IA ALter Ego--Casey has a lot of different talent/skills and I think this will really benefit him as he moves forward in the business. I wish all good things for him.
John--interesting about the Get Out. There are a lot of Keeno Mix vids whatever that is. I haven't watched them. I like Casey's live jazzy version of Get Out--but not fond of the cd version. I don't think he was either. At least that is what I heard from someone who hung out with him after a show last year.
Is Haley in Chicago right now?

RE: I'm Casey and I just got signed.
Quote:'American Idol' Alum Casey Abrams on NYC Shows, Acting and Free Music
American Idol alum Casey Abrams will kick off a three-night concert series at New York’s City’s Iridium Jazz Club on Thursday, Feb. 20.
..."Why not?" he said of the packed schedule. "I’ve got so much music in my soul. I got to get it out somehow."
Abrams' jam sessions is what fans have come to know and love about the Texas native. At a Los Angeles show at Room 5 in January, Abrams and his band got so carried away that they played beyond the midnight curfew and took the party out into the street. It was there that fans got another surprise -- fellow season 10 alum Haley Reinhart had come to watch her friend perform, and was coaxed into an impromptu performance of "House of the Rising Sun."
“That’s what I love about her -- she’s up for anything, and I think that is what is going to help her career and her life," he said.
Abrams, too, is game for anything. He recently split with his label, Concord Records, and is currently without management, but said he is exploring other options in New York as he builds up a new team of people to assist him with the next stage of his career -- which includes acting.
...The 23-year old musician is so hungry to explore that he recently traveled across the ocean just to see if "something cool" would happen performing in jazz clubs in Ethiopia.
..."I got to play at jazz festivals met some high-energy, cool people, and we all documented it ourselves,” said Abrams, who learned how to play a few instruments while in Africa. "It was a crazy trip. I basically went there, having nothing but a will to play some music, so I played at random nightclubs all around and met some of the biggest people and asked if I could sit in. Some let me, some didn’t. One guy let me play with his jazz band...on the spot."
...Abrams is hoping to return to the Idol stage to promote his latest, "Cougar Town," and announce that he is making the song available as a free download. "I want to do something that gives back,” he said. "Free music! I’m doing it out of the love of my heart as opposed to the emptiness of my wallet."
To Abrams, this is the best way to experience music. "It’s definitely my happy place. It feels great to be on stage and have people digging what you are doing and it’s so easy -- all you have to do is be happy on stage," he said, adding that his time on the Idol stage gave him the confidence to do just that. "I think the key to having a good show is being super duper happy -- you smile and they’ll smile. It’s the secret of life and music -- don’t be afraid to show your happiness."
