CASEY BLACK
plus support
Little Whelan’s • Tue 30th April 2024
A Nashville-born son of a Hall of Fame country songwriter (the late Charlie Black), Casey singer songwrites in a literary style about what it’s like to have a human mind in an animal’s body. Like if Dosoevsky had grown up near Music Row. Like if Hemingway had several mental illnesses and finger picked a Gibson Hummingbird.
Casey Black returns to Ireland in anticipation of the new EP, Simulacra, his fifth studio release. The collection—to be pressed under Black’s nom de plume, Nada Rien—explores the roots and expressions of psychological suffering, from the universal to the personal, the likes of which knocked the artist out of his musical self for nearly a decade. Among the new songs is Black’s I’ve Got a Darkness, previously recorded by Mick Flannery.
The artist is calling this run The Death of Casey Black Tour as a way of allowing Casey Black to sing in Ireland one last time before retiring the name and returning as Nada Rien in the near future.
