Adding to the unassuming voice of Nick Mulvey with the howling swagger of Paolo Nutini, Nolan’s blend of dynamic indy folk initially soothes then intoxifys with a finish of a Glen Hansard-esque knock out.


A singer/songwriter (generally solo but has a regular session band for relevant gigs) with over 1500 fans, and over 20 years of performing at least 100 shows a year, as part of Jimmi's energetic live performance he emulates his recorded compositions by looping guitar and percussion tracks as well as vocal harmonies to bring them to life (think Ed Sheeran or KT Tunstall).

Casey’s music has made an impact around the world. He’s had hits in Europe, written and recorded in America, appeared in a top-rating TV show in Australia, and played alongside many international stars including Mariah Carey, Lady Antebellum and Bryan Adams.

2016 has seen Casey sign with independent record label, Social Family Records, to release his next album, ‘Live As One’, due out at the end of August, after spending time earlier in the year writing with good friend, Rick Price, and recording in Nashville at Sound Emporium Studios. It’s an album of fan-favourites plus some new and exciting songs, including Casey’s last single, ‘The One You Love’, which was produced by ARIA award winning producer Nick Didia.  Nick has been responsible for working with such music heavy weights such as Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against the Machine and Australia’s own Powerfinger and Kasey Chambers.  The album’s title track, at radio on 1 August, is also a powerful song with an even more powerful accompanying video clip, featuring well-known Australians along with national and international sporting identities holding up #LiveAsOne signs.  It was written by Casey and Rick Price, and conveys a positive message at a time where hope is needed more than ever.  Other tracks on the album include ‘Just Like Magic’, with Casey teaming up with powerhouse songwriters Michael Paynter and Michael Delorenzis for what will be a modern country smash.  Eddie Spear (responsible for working with the likes of Jack Johnson, The White Stripes, Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow and more recently Chris Stapleton) also lends a hand, engineering and mixing the title track, ‘Live As One’, ‘Saving All My Love (feat Michelle Barnes)’, and ‘Say That You Love Me’.  The fan favourites include ‘Flesh & Bone’, ‘Valentine’, ‘The Crossing’, ‘Waiting On The Day’, and ‘Michelle’.

The last 3 years have seen many great achievements for Casey with shows in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. He has also been fortunate to perform at gigs and festivals around Australia including main stage at one of Queensland’s premier events the ‘Caloundra Music Festival’ (twice) and the very popular 'A Day On The Green'. 

Another highlight was participating in Perth’s Channel Seven Telethon in 2013 and again in 2015. A seasoned television performer, Casey has performed numerous times on such shows as Sunrise, The Morning Show, and the Marngrook Footy Show.

In July 2015, Casey won People’s Choice Award at the Gold Coast Music Awards and followed this up with a win in September 2015 at the NCEIA Dolphin Music Awards for the second year running. Last year Casey won ‘Best Male Vocal’ for his single ‘Hard Times’.

Australians got to know Casey’s story when he was a top 12 finalist in the final series of Australian Idol. But Casey already had a career well before appearing on the show, having released three albums, played alongside Bryan Adams (for A Day On The Green), Eskimo Joe and Vanessa Amorosi and had a number one hit in Europe, singing Marco Demark’s remake of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer.  

Casey has gone from strength to strength with a special guest appearance as support to US superstar Mariah Carey for A Day on the Green. He also has performed on premier music events such as Broadbeach Country Music Festival and Urban Country Music Festival.

In June 2016, Casey travelled to California to perform at major US music festival Country Summer.  An annual event, held at Santa Rosa, it featured the likes of Lady Antebullum, Craig Morgan and The Band Perry.  Casey also made his US television debut performing on CBS morning show ‘Good Day Sacramento’.

With a new record label and management behind him, 2016 sees Casey Barnes continue as one of Australia’s premier performers with a career truly on the rise.
