CASEY CALL
songwriter, music co-PRODUCER, musician
Casey Call is a musician, producer, lyricist, vocalist, songwriter, filmmaker and visual artist. Call's music career was born out of rather unusual and tumultuous circumstances, upon escaping a childhood spent in the clutches of a strict religious cult, he constructed a small recording studio in the middle of a corn field in northwest Iowa. His unique experience has taken him far from those humble beginnings all the way to sharing the world stage with acts such as Kings of Leon, and AWOLNATION. His unconventional approach to all things creative is most aptly reflected in his work as vocalist, songwriter and driving force behind the Minneapolis based band ENEMY PLANES. While playing a MN music festival in the summer of 2011, Call, along with his bandmates Joe Call and Joe Gamble, happened upon a man in tattered clothes strumming a beat up acoustic guitar by the glow of a lone campfire, his mass of grey curls barely contained by his road worn straw hat. This serendipitous encounter and the passing of a cassette tape with the words, "The Ragman" scribbled across the label, would mark this moment in time as the spark that set in motion the journey now known as The Ragman Project. Initially drawn to the uncanny resemblance of The Ragman to his own late grandfather, Call was given the opportunity to dive into Ragman's body of work consisting of over 100 songs, tasked with narrowing it down to and reimagining an albums worth of material with one single purpose; to bring to life one spirt known as "The Ragman". Call currently resides in Saint Paul, MN and splits his time between the studio and touring abroad. To learn more visit: http://enemyplanes.com
