Casey Neill Trio Tour
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 15:59:42 -0800
CASEY NEILL TRIO performs American folk music with strong Bluegrass and
Celtic overtones; and lyrics based in environmental and working class
topics, as well as more traditional pieces. Casey is the centerpiece of
the group, playing the guitar, singing lead vocals, and writing some
powerful, thought provoking lyrics; but he has found a very strong set of
musicians who also have other careers to join him in in over the past few
years. In this incarnation it is Hanz Araki on flute and supporting
vocals, and Zak Borden on mandolin and supporting vocals. Hanz has been a
friend of mine now for a few years because of his activities with The
Paperboys, Setanta, and other regular sessions in the Seattle area; but I
have also been fortunate enough to get to know Casey and Zak in the past
year, and some talented musician friends of their's more recently, and it
is definitely a community I support. Casey's first cd has been out for a
couple of years, title simply "Casey Neill". He and Zak also did a "Trio"
one called "Skree" in 1999 with fiddler Anthea Lawrence. Hanz did some
supporting work on that along with several other people; and he took over
the third slot on their upcoming album. Zak's background is in Bluegrass
as you can see on his solo "Whistles and Steam" album. While Hanz was
trained in Shakuhachi flute (Japanese classical), but has made his career
in Irish traditional music. He has a solo album with Finn McGinty under
his name; and he, Finn, and Dale Russ have a very recent one under their
group name of "Setanta". This is not "sit and think quietly in your living
room folk music", there's a lot of energy to it; and I would encourage you
to come check them out and pass the word to your friends in the cities
mentioned below.
I look forward to seeing you at the Seattle shows!

Hurray for our band of happy ragged folk.
Telling old stories and fireside jokes.
Living for the music, the love, and the laugh.
Hurray for the riff-raff!
