Artists:Casey Abrams
From WWR
|
Casey Abrams, a hyper-literate, generation-hopping singer-songwriter calls his performances "tramp art music".
Like the Depression-era Tramp Artists who created unique works of art from found objects like cigar boxes and picture frames, Abrams crafts inspired music from a hundred years-worth of records, books and doo-dads found in the dusty attics and roadside shops of the rural South and the urban Northeast.
Abrams’ sophisticated songs have their roots in Americana, jazz, and the classic singer-songwriter tradition. The idiosyncratic performer is known for infusing ragtime, country blues fingerpicking and jazz chops into a repertoire that ranges from Fats Waller to John Prine, and from Stephen Foster to Todd Rundgren.
In Abrams, listeners will find the link that ties classic tunesmiths like Hoagy Carmichael to peerless singer-songwriters like Al Stewart and modern artists such as The Decemberists, Joanna Newsom and Sufjan Stevens.
Casey Abrams is currently at work on his third album, Likely Story, due out later this year. This time out, Abrams and co-producer Adam Levy from The Honeydogs meld the jazzy, occasionally dark, prog-rock of King Crimson and Yes with the country-rock sounds of Gram Parsons and The Band.
Over the years, Abrams has shared bills with the Joan Baez, Eric Burden, and Richie Havens, among others. Watch for a national tour in '07.
