Casey Barnes is an Australian singer-songwriter from Gold Coast, Queensland who was a contestant on the 2009 season of Australian Idol.
Casey’s music has made an impact around the world. He’s had hits in Europe, written and recorded in America, appeared in a top-rating TV show in Australia, and played alongside many international stars including Mariah Carey, Lady Antebellum and Bryan Adams.
Casey started his singing career in his home state of Tasmania before relocating to the Gold Coast, which he now calls home. Casey’s songs are honest and heartfelt. The emotions are genuine. This was evident on his 2012 release ‘Jet Trails’, which spawned a string of well-received singles. This album was Casey’s first association with Aussie hit-maker Rick Price (Not a Day Goes By, Heaven Knows) after a chance meeting in Nashville led the pair to become life long friends and songwriting partners.
Writing with Rick Price continued into 2014 with Casey’s EP 'Flesh & Bone', which was recorded in Nashville. This EP was produced by Price and mixed by Grammy Award winner Jason Lehning and saw the release of four singles, ‘Valentine’, ‘Flesh and Bone’, 'Waiting On The Day and 'Hard Times, all receiving regular radio airplay nationwide. In addition, all four music videos were featured extensively on Foxtel’s CMC and all singles charted well in the All Australian Top 20 Countdown and CMC Country charts.
2016 has seen Casey sign with independent record label, Social Family Records, to release his next album, ‘Live As One’, due out at the end of August, after spending time earlier in the year writing with good friend, Rick Price, and recording in Nashville at Sound Emporium Studios. It’s an album of fan-favourites plus some new and exciting songs, including Casey’s last single, ‘The One You Love’, which was produced by ARIA award winning producer Nick Didia. Nick has been responsible for working with such music heavy weights such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Australia’s own Powerfinger and Kasey Chambers. The album’s title track, at radio on 1 August, is also a powerful song with an even more powerful accompanying video clip, featuring well-known Australians along with national and international sporting identities holding up #LiveAsOne signs. It was written by Casey and Rick Price, and conveys a positive message at a time where hope is needed more than ever. Other tracks on the album include ‘Just Like Magic’, with Casey teaming up with powerhouse songwriters Michael Paynter and Michael Delorenzis for what will be a modern country smash. Eddie Spear (responsible for working with the likes of Jack Johnson, The White Stripes, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow and more recently Chris Stapleton) also lends a hand, engineering and mixing the title track, ‘Live As One’, ‘Saving All My Love (feat Michelle Barnes)’, and ‘Say That You Love Me’. The fan favourites include ‘Flesh & Bone’, ‘Valentine’, ‘The Crossing’, ‘Waiting On The Day’, and ‘Michelle’.
