As you may have noticed, there have not been many new posts on The Casey James Blog in the past week. There are a number of reasons for that, none of which we will bore you with. But we have decided that we have only two options — shut down the blog entirely or change how it is run.
What we have opted for is a more stream-lined approach to getting the information out to you, without the blog being the behemoth it was (where every Casey sneeze was documented for posterity).
The concert schedule page which you can access from the top of the blog will continue to be updated as new concerts are announced. Even if you do not receive email notification of a new concert, you should check that page regularly to see what new shows have been added.
The radio station request page which you can find under the Team Casey tab at the top of the blog is updated weekly with new radio station adds. This is the single most important page on the blog as it provides you with a number of ways you can request Casey’s music on country radio. Please check this page every day and commit to requesting the song at least at your local stations and, if you can, to as many of the top rated stations as possible.
The past concerts page which is located under the Concert Schedule page at the top will be updated with links to the set list as well as links to videos and photos from each of Casey’s shows. In addition, the blog’s discussion board has a concerts section that is updated with details, tweets, song lists, photos and videos of each concert. You should join the discussion board as it is updated 24/7 with news and information, click here to check it out.
News items are now updated on a News page which you can find at the top of the blog. Photos from concerts are on the Photos page.
We will also continue to provide you links with ways in which you can help support Casey including links to contests, special radio requests, voting, music surveys and more. You can find all the ways you can help Casey here on the Supporting Casey page under the Team Casey tab at the top of the blog. One of the best, and most effective, things you can do is to vote/request Casey’s single on the radio stations that run daily listener-requested hours (such as Jake-FM’s “Take Over Jake” or KILT’s “Top 8@8″).
We will continue to keep the chat room running and available for the fans, and we will let fans use the conference call in room if they want to arrange for a call in from any show.
The links page has everything you need to find out information about Casey, from his official sites, to band members sites, to links to discussion forums, Facebook pages and other places around the web.
We have loved being your source for Casey James’ news and did not relish the thought of letting the fans down by closing up shop entirely. We hope that this new approach will still provide you with the information you need while recognizing that we simply could not keep up the pace we had set for ourselves.
-Love, TCJB
Casey James opened for country music legend Alan Jackson at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas last night. Before the show, the Sony/BNA website shared this press release about Casey’s three-day stint as opener for the legendary Jackson:
With his debut single, “Let’s Don’t Call It A Night” approaching top 20, Casey James is set to take the stage with country music icon Alan Jackson for shows this weekend. On Friday, the Texas native will open for Alan in Benton, TX and Saturday, the show moves to Las Cruces, NM. Casey will play the Country Thunder Festival in Florence, AZ on Sunday.
On his upcoming shows with Alan Jackson, Casey said, “It’s Alan Freakin’ Jackson! He is a poetic storyteller, and one of the best artist/writers there is. And as a performer, he has been entertaining and selling out shows year after year. It’s a huge honor to open for him.”
Casey, and his all-Texas band, played a seven-song set in front of an enthusiastic and huge crowd of fellow Texans and music fans.
Thanks to our good friend Donna McKool, we have audio of Casey’s set:

At the show, Casey had some merchandise on sale for fans, some t-shirts and a Koozie, which apparently is used to keep your canned beverage of choice cold:
