Direct Energy’s Concert Featuring Casey James @ Levy Park
Feb 10 all-day

Direct Energy is the presenting sponsor for a free concert at Levy Park on Saturday, Feb. 10, featuring Texas country and blues musician and former American Idol finalist Casey James from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. performing on the Pavilion Stage. Two other concerts earlier in the day will precede the headliner.

About Casey James

James played local venues for 11 years before he was “discovered” on American Idol in 2010. After placing third on the once popular television show, he was signed to Sony Music Nashville, and co-produced his debut album which landed at number two on the U.S. country chart. His first single went top 20 on the country charts, and his follow-up single went top 15.

While touring extensively on his own, James also landed the opening slot for Sugarlands’ “Incredible Machine” tour, Alan Jackson, and Taylor Swifts’ “Red” tour. He has several successful album releases, including the latest, “Strip it Down,” which has a bluesy, soulful feel.
