To start, welcome! I’m writing from Westerly, RI in my little cabin settled in the backyard of my friends house. Everyone is outside bustling around, watering their garden, hanging clothes to dry, and taking out the recycling.
Here’s my first big announcement to share:
A couple months ago I applied for a songwriters showcase at Levitate Festival in Marshfield, MA. Out of 845 applicants, the judges put my song “You’ll Be Okay” in the final 15! Here’s a link to that song —> https://caseyrivers.bandcamp.com/track/youll-be-okay
This showcase supports emerging songwriters with a $5,000+ grant and the opportunity to get on stage at the Levitate Music Festival. I’m not sure how I made it into this lineup of incredible songwriters, but my name is there so… PLEASE GIVE ME A VOTE:) here’s the link —> https://levitatefoundation.org/songwriter-of-the-year-levitate/
In other exciting news, this week I played a show 6/7 days of the week. I’m finishing this email at the tail end of this run of shows, and I am buzzing while at the same time feel that my stomach is doing a slight somersault.
If you’re in the area, you can catch me playing originals and covers at Langworthy Inn and Winery on Fridays at 5pm, and Sundays, 7pm at High Hope Tavern in Westerly RI.
Shows coming up the rest of this month:
