Cas Haley & Woodbelly - A Dream Concert
My family watched him make his television debut on the reality show, America's Got Talent. In a pre-show profile, Cas talked about his lifelong dream of becoming a musician (and encouraged by his musician parents), his desire to provide for his wife and young son, and his wife's loving support of his dream. The audience fell in love with this talented, stay-at-home dad with the warmest smile and incredible voice.
Cas walked on stage and entertained us. Actually, we were mesmerized by his entire performance. Cas shines when he's singing, and we had wished the show transformed into The Cas Haley Talent Hour. A true entertainer who not only feels his music but is able to make his audience feel it too.
At the first note, his body becomes in synch with the music, swaying back and forth, his foot jamming up and down, and his mouth cradling the sounds. It's the look of someone in total immersion and love of his work. Passionate and talented.
His unique sound combines rock and reggae music, with acoustic and electric guitars. He blew the audience away with his renditions of Sting's Walk on the Moon, Lionel Richie's Easy, and sounded like one of UB40 in their combined performance.
While AGT wasn't his first 'gig', it did introduce us to Cas. He is humble, gracious, and talented.
Cas released his self-titled, debut album in February 2008. Available through iTunes, the album became #1 in the iTunes Reggae Charts. When released as a Best Buy exclusive, the album climbed to the #5 spot in total sales ... in its first week.
What could make a better charity concert than by an artist who understands the meaning of fulfilling a dream?

High Praise
"...You choose a song which is a very difficult song to sing, and it's sung by a guy with a totally unique voice, Sting, and I've heard Sting at a private club singing that song, a cappella like you did, and he's got an amazing voice. You actually sang it better than Sting!"
~ Piers Morgan after hearing Cas Haley's rendition of Walking on The Moon, America's Got Talent, 2007.

Be a Role Model ...
Cas credits his talent to his parents raising him in a musical family. Whether or not you have the same musical talent as his parents, you can always encourage your child's love of music.
Music is fun AND educational; music's been shown to increase scores of other subjects, like math, reading, and science.
