Cas Haley is breaking out on his own terms.
Connection, his Easy Star Records debut, is aptly named. It’s all about those deep-running connections that make him what he is—those unbreakable links between artist and audience, between styles of music, between art and life, and most of all, between all people. As Cas points out, reggae’s core message is, after all, "one love." Connection comes out on September 14th – for more info visit www.cashaley.com

Camp Bisco 9 just wrapped up the ninth annual festival in Mariaville NY last weekend, to huge crowds of enthusiastic music fans.  The New York Times reflects "As the music business continues to shift from an emphasis on recorded-product sales and toward live performances and other kinds of direct engagement with fans, a successful festival of one’s own has become a milestone for the sort of bands that don’t play the same set list night after night."   Check out the full article!!
