When we found out that Steve Azar wouldn't be able to play at our Taste of Country Concert, September 10th, we looked for a replacement that would rock the house, and we have found just that person.  Casey James, who made it all the way to the final three of American Idol, season nine will bring his bluesey-country sound to the stage at Ellis Park. He will join Josh Turner, Josh Thompson, Glen Templeton, and local favorites Straight Laced in what promises to be an awesome show.  Casey wowed the AI audience with his unique sound and he also wowed former judge Kara Dioguardi by taking off his shirt at the auditions.  I can't promise the shirt will come off at Taste of Country, but you will see an awesome show.  Take a look at one of his awesome performances on American Idol, then take a listen to his very first country single that was just released, "Let's Don't Call It A Night."
