Laurie Grundy from Victoria has sent through some information on Casey Freeland which he has asked me to share on AustralianBluegrass.com.
Casey started performing with her family at the age of 8 years old and was playing bass at the age of 11. She played with her family band until she graduated college. She then moved to Nashville meeting and playing with many talented bluegrass artists. Casey has toured internationally and domestically as bass player and vocalist for 6 times IBMA vocalist of the year Dale Ann Bradley’s band. She has also played for and toured with Valeria Smith, Roland White and Chris and Casey Henry. In 2015 Casey Freeland was an IBMA Momentum Award nominee.
After touring Casey Freeland returned to the Missouri Ozarks and started her own band now called Casey and The Atta Boys. Along with Casey, the band’s leader, the band comprises fiddler Andrew Moreton a SPBGMA fiddle player of the year nominee and also Justin George a talented contest winning banjo player with superb guitarist and vocalist Kelly Freeland and Becca Sein on mandolin. The band has a hard driving traditional approach to old and new repertoires. And has great stage personality and stage craft.
