Our lil’ Londoner is turning a big twenty-something today. How can you resist her adorableness? Even with her face smooshed up against a swing, she’s still a cutie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LAUREN! We love you!

No big deal… just showed this to Lauren and now she totally has the hots for my dad in 1981.

Casey Shea recently dropped in to record a session at Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN. Check out his acoustic version of “Pretty Good Shape, For The Shape I’m In.”

He also talked with Ardent about which audiobook he’s listening to on the road (hint: it’s a music icon) and good ol’ rock and roll.

Also, if you’re an East Coast fan, we’ll be announcing some co-headlining show dates soon, with a mystery band. Hint #2: They’re a “logical” choice! For now, here are Casey’s remaining shows this month: May tour.
