Casey Desmond is a singer/ songwriter/ guitarist whose material is a blend of soulful rock/folk melodies, soaring harmonies, provoking lyrics, and deep rocking guitars. Her songs reflect a thoughtfulness and maturity far beyond her 19 years.
Editorial review
Boston-based teenage singer/songwriter Casey Desmond is the daughter of a pair of local noise rock legends who front the performance art freakout collective the Bentmen. However, in much the same way that Dweezil Zappa's pop-metal never had that much to do with his dad's knotty blend of cerebral art and knob jokes, Casey Desmond's own music is unapologetically commercial pop. A pretty redhead who looks like a fashion-updated version of Claire Danes circa My So-Called Life, Desmond makes a kind of approachable but not overly slick semi-alternative pop for teenage girls who are too cool for Kelly Clarkson but not cool enough for Feist: the guitars are fully amped-up, and Desmond sings her folk-rock-based songs with enough spunk that "Taste It" sounds more like Juliana Hatfield than Jewel and the harder-rocking "Sorry Ain't Enough" comes across like Melissa Etheridge with a less sandpapery voice. A few writing sessions with a seasoned production/writing team and Casey Desmond could easily make a commercial pop record as good as Liz Phair's post-millennium work; whether she has anything deeper in her is a question unanswered by this entirely charming but lightweight debut. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide

Biography
Raised in a musical family, she first appeared on a recording at age three with her parents' band, the legendary and notorious BENTMEN. She grew up performing in front of audiences, singing, acting, and dancing in musical theater. She sang a duet of "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips" with Tiny Tim at age 10, and was encouraged by him to pursue a career as a vocalist.
By age 14 she had taught herself to play guitar, keys and bass and formed a band with her schoolmates in which she was the lead vocalist/ bass player and songwriter for "Adore".
The band recorded a CD of Casey's material which received local airplay on college radio. She then concentrated on a solo career, released her second CD of acoustic melodies (which was also recorded while she was 14), and began performing at clubs and coffee houses throughout New England.
