A little while ago our very own Casey Shea performed at NYC’s Highline Ballroom with our dear friend Paula Valstein. Amazing photographer Octothorpe sent over these gorgeous pictures of the night, and we just had to share. Find more of them here. Make sure to catch Casey if you live in or close to Boston, Ithaca or NYC!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with 100000Fans.com to release a special collection of Casey Shea songs! Go HERE to download the album for free! Write up below by Christina.

In January 2009, Shea combined forces with NY label Family Records, to introduce the public to a catalog of solo works. Not wanting to have one big record release show and then be done with it, Casey and his label questioned, “How can we put out this music in a unique way?” The answer: The “ABC’s Singles Release Shows”, a multitude of performances booked at different venues over the course of the year, each featuring two professional recordings and one informal demo made at home- the A side, B side, and C side.

The concept, another throwback to the past, quickly garnered a fantastically devoted audience following. “In Search Of Seas” was compiled especially for 100000Fans.com taking all the A and B sides, and adding a bonus track for your listening pleasure…

We made it to volume 6. Come celebrate with us at Gramercy Theatre tomorrow! Download these for free here.

Volume 5 of 6 is here! Download it for free and come out to the show to support and get one of the limited edition hand-silk screened copies! Only 50 will ever be made!
