| Casey Neill to play Jambalaya on May 10th
| |
| Portland, Oregon-based singer-songwriter Casey Neill is touring in support of his latest full-length, "Brooklyn Bridge" (In Music We Trust). "Brooklyn Bridge" features guest appearances by The Decemberists¹ Jennie Conlee and Chris Funk (both play in a Pogues tribute band Neill fronts entitled KMRIA), John Wesley Harding, Eric "Roscoe" Ambel (of Steve Earle and The Dukes), Erin McKeown, and others.
"Brooklyn Bridge" moves from indie-rock to Celtic, from pop-rock to Americana, all with an earnest, punk mindset that few singer-songwriters can touch - and mean it - when weaving through various genres not only on the same album, but sometimes on the same song. The 12-track collection of songs was produced by legendary Scottish fiddler player Johnny Cunninghan, well-regarded in the Celtic and folk worlds as a top-notch player and producer (among many others, he produced Solas, an Irish folk supergroup that covered one of Neill¹s songs), his reach going as far as punk band The Dropkick Murphys, who have previously tapped Cunningham to work with them.
