CASEY DONAHEW BAND BIO
Texas tornado Casey Donahew kicked off perhaps his biggest year yet in October 2011 with the release of his fourth studio album, DOUBLE WIDE DREAM, on his own Almost Country Entertainment record label and is continuing to blow everyone away in 2012. Armed with an indomitable, can-do spirit and a handful of new songs that instantly struck a chord with fans everywhere, the Texas native immediately debuted at #2 on iTunes Country Chart, #8 on iTunes overall Chart, #32 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums Chart and #10 on its Country Chart and was also on iTunes’ coveted “Best of 2011” list and he hasn’t looked back since.
In 2012, the Donahew organization received on overwhelming FIVE nominations for the Annual TRRM Awards (Texas Regional Radio Music). The Casey Donahew Band garnered four nominations including Entertainer of the Year, Duo/Group/Band of the Year, Single of the Year and Album of the Year. The Donahew’s record label, ALMOST COUNTRY RECORDS, managed and operated by Melinda Donahew, topped off their nomination honors with Record Label of the Year. The Academy of Country Music welcomed the Casey Donahew Band in June 2012 where they they performed several of their hit songs including “Double Wide Dream” and “Let’s Not Say Goodbye Again” and signed up for professional ACM membership offered by the Academy to support emerging artists.
Selling out venues across the country throughout Texas and the Midwest, the band continued roaring their way into Alberta, Canada and touring the Northeast working their way back to the Lone Star State. The Casey Donahew Band continues to thrill crowds each week with a combined frenetic onstage energy and everyman likeability, and media outlets around the country are catching on to what the fans have known all along – this guy knows how to rock it. When Casey’s uproarious new video for his HIT single, “Double Wide Dream,” debuted on Country Music Television (CMT) in 2011 where it was a “World Premiere,” it spent a week in the #1 position on CMT.com’s homepage in “Today’s Top Videos” before settling in at #5. This summer in July of 2012, the new video from Texas natives Casey Donahew Band, “One Star Flag,” was featured on the new CMT Independents’ Day Series.
A testament to Casey Donahew’s growing popularity, the song “Double Wide Dream” is a perfect example of the Burleson native’s ability not to take himself or anything else too seriously and just enjoy the ride – and what a whirlwind of a ride it is becoming for this Texas sensation as he skyrockets closer and closer to country superstardom!
