Casey Stone was introduced to music at a very young
age by her family through church and by her parents
taking her to a Tanya Tucker concert. Mesmerized by
Ms. Tucker’s charismatic stage presentation and
vocal ability, Casey believed that she too, could be
a singer and she immediately began learning the
ropes.
Casey garnered talent contest wins (National Academy
of Country Music Talent Contest – 1st Place), award
nominations (“Newcomer of the Year” – Canadian
Country Music Association; “Best Performance in a
Television Variety Special” – ACTRA) and national
airplay for her three singles, two of which were
recorded in Nashville.
Casey continued to develop her talents through
touring and recording and in 1995 she returned to
Saskatchewan to showcase her other earlier
influences such as Creedence Clearwater Revival, The
Eagles and Gordon Lightfoot by forming the edgy
roots rock band “eva gold’. With Juno winners Brent
Taylor and Hal Schrenk on guitar and drums, the
solid grooves of Brett Schinbein on bass and Casey’s
fiery intense vocal and stage performances, “eva
gold” developed into a premier musical experience.
A stellar review of the band’s 2nd CD “traction” in
“Canadian Musician” magazine’s “Showcase” took note
of Stone’s “alluring vocal presence – alternately
playing the country coquette…or the sexy power rock
goddess”. Saskatoon’s “Star Phoenix” commented, “If
you’re prospecting for a female singer who rocks
hard and isn’t afraid to get down to it, stake a
claim to Casey Stone.”
As well as advancing her performing and songwriting
skills, Casey has steadily learned the business of
music, from managing and booking, to marketing and
promotion. Her devotion has paid off through a song
placement in an American television episode of “Time
of Your Life”, radio airplay, an expanded and loyal
fan base and success through “eva gold’s” MP3.com
Website (accessed through www.mp3.com/evagold ).
With “eva gold” disbanding in January 2001, Casey
took a short break before reorganizing and
regrouping. Back with a strong focus, a powerful and
dynamic stage show, and a new CD due in the Spring
of 2003, the band, simply called “Casey Stone” is
reeling with excitement and energy. Stay tuned for
details
