James’ self-titled album debuted last week at No. 2 on the country charts, and No. 23 on The Billboard 200. The Cool, Texas native credits artists such as Merle Haggard, Vince Gill, ZZ Top, and Bonnie Raitt with shaping his style, with a mix of ‘70s rock, blues and outlaw country thrown in for good measure. He toured with Sugarland and played his own shows while working on the debut album. The first single released, “Let’s Don’t Call It a Night,” was co-written by James with Terry McBride and Brice Long.
“
We are very excited to add Casey James to our entertainment line-up,” said Jeanette Merritt, director of marketing for the Indiana Wine Grape Council. “He’s a huge musical presence right now, and should be a tremendous draw for the festival.”
