& RESILIENCE AMIDST GLOBAL CRISIS
‘Town Of A Million Dreams’ out Friday, April 17 on Chugg Music via MGM.
April 17, 2020
Gold Coast country music star Casey Barnes is offering the world a much-needed hiatus of hope and happiness amidst the global state of affairs with his new album ‘Town Of A Million Dreams’, a glorious injection of 10 superbly crafted tracks that meld slick country, pop and rock production with relatable lyrics that can’t help but make you smile.
Powering through an unprecedented tough time for all of us, Casey embodies Australia’s ‘no bloody worries’ optimism by seeing the situation as an opportunity and persisting with good old fashion resilience and positivity for those who need it most.
The latest single Sparks Fly has ignited across Australia, holding the top spot on The Music Network’s Hot Country chart for three weeks out of four weeks, showing some strong competition against The Dixie Chicks latest Gaslighter, and rose to the top of Australian Country Radio’s Top 10 chart twice since release.
“Sparks Fly centres on that magical moment when you look at someone and they look at you and you both have that instant ‘spark’. A feeling that’s hard to beat! It was inspired while on a writing trip in the U.S last year where I teamed up with Nashville based songwriters Brown & Gray and we tapped into the back story of when I first met my wife… and that initial chemistry between the two of us,” said Casey.
The album has already provided the chart topper A Little More, which has generated over a million steams and peaked at #2 on The Music Network Hot Country Chart, and a gorgeous number with Missy Lancaster, No Other You that Stack Magazine’s Jeff Jenkins called “one of the year’s finest ballads”.
LISTEN TO ‘TOWN OF A MILLION DREAMS’
“‘Town of A Million Dreams’ is an album title that leaves it’s interpretation up to the individual listener and that’s the beauty behind this album; how in essence everybody starts out in their own home town with hopes and dreams of where they want to be,” said Casey.
“On a personal level the title is a lyric drawn from one of the tracks on the album ‘Bright Lights’ which focuses on my ongoing relationship and love of Nashville over the last 10 years. It’s this incredible melting pot of talent, from all genres. Musicians, artists, producers all with their own unique story and dream. It just felt like the perfect title for the album.”
Continuing on with high energy, Casey has captured his fans with new and creative ways to stay connected during the harrowing atmosphere of COVI-19. His live streamed performances and catch-up chats, hosted every Wednesday and Sunday are consistently reaching over 75, 000 fans.
Looking over the horizon, Casey is thrilled to announce the new dates for his ‘Town Of A Million Dreams Tour’, which will kick off September 17 and takes his stellar band across our beautiful east coast to a venue near you.
