Arcata Playhouse: 1251 9th St Arcata, CA 95521 Get Directions
Arcata Playhouse presents Casey Neill, a songwriter from Portland, Oregon performing high energy indie folk, infused with haunting melodies and weather beaten narratives.
After years of band touring, songwriter Casey Neill is presenting an intimate solo roadshow combining high energy originals, narrative story songs, and fun covers. Neill's music draws from a wide range of influences from contemporary indie rock, Scots/Irish song, and the tradition of classic American songwriters. He performs throughout the USA, Japan, and Europe, performing at venues such as Town Hall in New York, San Francisco's Great American Music Hall, and the Newport Folk Festival.
Critic Marco Rivera described it best for music blog Splendid: "Be it through raucous rockers, fragile acoustic ballads, passionate bursts of punk fury or soulful touches of Irish folk, Neill's narrative talent and concern for real people's struggles stand out. (Neill) evokes an epic feel that fits perfectly with the implicit grandiosity of this emotional material, delivered with a raspy, affectionate voice that recalls Life's Rich Pageant-era Michael Stipe. The results are so evocative, you'll be tempted to steep further in these memories, the better to share Casey Neill's particular blend of personal and historical experience."
