Casey James Prestwood and the Burning Angels ...

Country music sensation Casey James Prestwood and the Burning Angels will do our Live Local Music Series at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 29, in Room A at Parker Library.

Here's the band's bio, courtesy of Kate Prestwood ...

If the late night scene on Broadway Street in Nashville, Tennessee could talk, it would sing you a Casey James Prestwood tune. Drenched in the honest twang that made Gram Parsons and Hank Williams household names, the classic crooner's carefree vocals and careful guitar playing feel more like country than a worn-in pair of cowboy boots. Prestwood's latest album "Falling Apart At The Seams" was produced by Grammy Award Winner John Macy, and the collaboration between the two has paid off: the songs are beautifully arranged and masterfully delivered, transporting the listener immediately to the glory days of Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium. As "classic" as this record may seem, make no mistake--the songs are as timeless as the love and loss that Prestwood sings of, each pulling at your heartstrings more than the next. No stranger to the alt. country scene, Prestwood has played as a sideman with such acclaimed bands as Drag The River, Rocky Votolato, and Hot Rod Circuit. He ventured off into his own territory with his record “ The Hurtin Kind,” released in 2006. On his latest record, Prestwood gets a hand from legendary country players such as Jaydee Maness, Neil Flanz, and Hank Singer to give the record its polished country feel. From the singer's hit song "Whiskey, Peroxide & Smoke," Prestwood tells us, "Temptation is a vice we all have. And regret is the thing that makes temptation hard." The only regret to be had after listening to Prestwood is to wish you'd heard his stuff sooner.
