"Casey's smart songwriting and considerable guitar handiwork is not to be missed. KHUM has been playing his latest CD regularly for months. The lyrical depth and intricate melodies improve with each listen. Each time I hear it, something new jumps out of the mix. Casey's definitely somebody to keep your eye on." - Mike Dronkers, KHUM, Ferndale, CA

"Casey Connor is a talented young songsmith/multi-instrumentalist who has the ability to create a unique mood and rhythm for his listeners. Every time I hear him play, be it a new original song or one of the many instruments that he is well versed in, I always walk away more impressed by his genuine sound. Casey has some fine recordings out there and a strong live performance that he uses to connect with the audience and brings them into his world full of wonder." - Cornelius, host of KDVS show Cool as Folk, Davis, CA
