Biography
 Casey
Kelly grew up in Baton Rouge, LA. While attending LSU he
became one of the founding members of the legendary local
rock band, the Greek Fountains. He moved to NYC where he
worked as a session musician and singer, a songwriter, an
arranger, a music publisher, a record producer and a record
company executive. He moved on to tour with Tom Rush,
playing guitar, harmonica, and piano. He then went to L.A.
where he signed a recording deal with producer Joe Wissert
who took him to Warner Brothers Records. After releasing a
single at Warner Brothers Records Casey moved on to A&M
Records and formed the Luziana Band which was recorded by
Jim Hilton. His next label deal was at Elektra Records where
he worked with producer Richard Sanford Orshoff, recording
two more nationally acclaimed LP’s. He toured extensively
promoting his records, opening shows and performing with
virtually every popular music act of the time from the
mega-hit group America to Frank Zappa.
Recruited by famous publisher/producer Bob Montgomery, Casey
Kelly moved to Nashville where he has lived ever since
writing top-selling songs for most of the major publishers.
His many hit songs include #1’s: Anyone Who Isn’t Me Tonight
by Kenny Rogers and Dottie West, Soon by Tanya Tucker,
Somewhere Down the Line by T G Shepherd and country music
standard, The Cowboy Rides Away by George Strait. He works
as a session player and singer and performs in clubs and
concerts for audiences in Europe and throughout the US. A
frequent panelist, workshop contributor and songwriters'
rights activist, Casey is a member of ASCAP, NARAS and NSAI.
He mentors the NSAI Regional Workshops in Providence, RI;
Atlanta, GA; Greenville, SC and Pensacola, FL. He is
currently a Songwriters Guild of America Board of Councilors
member, and serves as elected Vice President of that
organization, representing the Southeastern Region.
