Casey describes herself as a sensitive river girlie, country-folk musician, and storyteller. She grew up in Illinois, and has found a home in Westerly, RI. She's recorded two songs, "You'll Be Okay" and "Casey's Song" and is currently working on an album inspired by her obsession with all things water, love and the little irksome, yet nostalgic, things in life, called qualms. Her old time and effortless vocals captivate audiences, tackling heartbreak, loss, and nostalgia with an americana sound.
Rivers has played in venues such as The Knickerbocker Tap Room, High Hope Tavern, and the Pump House Music Works in Rhode Island. She has opened up for major acts including Hayley Jane, Ryan Montbleau, and Will Evans at the Snow Moon Festival; her song “You’ll Be Okay” recently won her recognition at the Levitate Festival Songwriter’s Showcase. She’s performed at events and benefits for the Blackstone River, the Wequetequock Cove Clean Water Coalition, and several Earth Day celebrations.
