The Casey Donahew Band in Concert
A linchpin of country music's grassroots Red Dirt movement, The Casey Donahew Band first began building their loyal following by playing night after night in the kind of Texas honky-tonks where you have to forge a strong connection with your audience. They moved on to a bigger, broader audience, but they never abandoned those performance principles. Even now that their albums regularly enter the country Top 10, they still bring those principles to every stage.
A Casey Donahew Band concert is more like a party full of friends than anything else. And whether Donahew and his crew are dealing out percolating grooves like the one that powers "Moving On" or tearing down the house with a hard-charging roadhouse rocker like "One Star Flag" with fierce fiddle and guitar licks flying, you can count on an atmosphere where everybody gets into the spirit of things.
The Casey Donahew Band Background
Growing up in Burleson, a little town outside of Fort Worth, Casey Donahew was steeped in Texan tradition from an early age — he worked in the rodeo before he started pursuing music. Once the Casey Donahew Band was formed in 2002, keeping it real was high on the agenda.
They hit the Texas bar scene hard and earned a diehard audience that followed them through every step of their evolution as the band continued to gain popularity. They put out their first album, 'Lost Days,' in 2006, but it was 2009's 'Moving On' that really broke through to a national audience, landing them on the country album charts for the first time.
From there, the band's energetic country-rocking sound found more and more success. 2011's 'Double-Wide Dream' hit the country Top 10, and five years later, the appropriately titled 'All Night Party' went all the way to No. 3. Pretty impressive for a band that has remained steadfastly independent for the entirety of its existence, shunning the spotlight of the music business money-go-round in favor of keeping it simple and bringing their music directly to the audience that's been embracing them for years.
HAD A REALLY GREAT TIME. LOVE THE SMALLER VENUE AND FOR SOMEONE I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE HE WAS GREAT! SO GLAD WE GOT THE CHANCE TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT!
He’s the best, the venue was fun, the logistics of alcohol lines were very quick
Casey is an awesome entertainer. He engages with the crowd and has so many good songs!!
Casey Donahew puts on a fantastic show. He is awesome and love his songs. The Blue Note was an awesome venue to see him in, no bad seats.
I love the small venues! I like being close to the music without being crushed like a sardine. Sometimes the large venues seem impersonal. This was perfect and personal!!! Best way for a concert to be.
We always have a great time at any Casey Donahew concert and this was no exception! My husband and I have been attending his concerts for years.
I loved the concert! And it was even more exciting to see a piece of home in Indiana. Please keep bringing Texas to Indiana!
Casey Donahew puts on a good performance and I am looking forward to him coming back to Ohio!
Hands downs one of the best live performances I have seen. Beautiful venue as well.
Casey is great. I’m glad he makes his way up to Idaho. He plays great country music that my whole family loves. Keep it up. Thank you.
The Casey Donahew Band put on a fantastic show in Boise on Nov. 29th! I’ve had the pleasure to watch this band on multiple occasions, they keep getting better and better. So much fun!!
Saw Casey Donahew at Boise Knitting Factory again. The show was awesome!
I have been following Casey since 2009 when I moved to Texas and haven't looked back! He is such an amazing storyteller through his songs. His spectrum of writing is huge. He sings about love, life, his love of our country and then he has those songs that make you laugh, have the absolute best lines and rhythm! He has always taken a stand of his love of the USA and our freedoms and during this rough time, I think more people with a podium should be doing the same. He doesn't back down from it and always talks about it during his shows. He really gets involved with the crowd and has this sense of humor that makes you laugh and comes out between songs. At the end of every show he stays behind to sign memorabilia, take pictures, shake hands and to thank you for coming. We took our 10 year olds and 8 year old for the first time as he is one of their favorites and he made sure to notice and interact with them even giving them picks, his set list which he signed and taking pictures with them. We moved from Texas a year ago and were so sad as he never had really performed out in the Carolinas. The excitement we had when we saw he was coming was beyond belief! I hope he continues to bless this part of the country with his love performances. We will be there every time! We brought friends who had never heard of him and they are now hooked as well. We plan to introduce as many people as we can to him because his music and show is an experience we all need!
Wasn't familiar with his music and country not my favorite genre but great show! Perfect mix of cowboy country and southern rock. True showman and great lyrics to boot.
Excellent show and venue! Probably the 20 something time I’ve seen CD and keeps getting better!
Casey was fire! No doubt it was a great show. The venue at Mercury Ballroom was top notch. No wait, security was a breeze, drinks were cold! Great place to go to a show.
Loved Casey Donahew!!! Great seats. Sound was excellent. Best was Casey Donahew and his band!! We will be back
One of best concerts I’ve seen in years! Great guy, great band. Loved every minute of it. I will definitely watch that band every chance I get!
Can’t wait for the next time he close to see him again! He is a great performer!
We enjoyed the whole night! Casey never disappoints.
