Bio
Casey LJ is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in the Boston area. From current hits to the golden age of the American Songbook, Casey’s repertoire spans Classic Rock, Country, Soul, Pop, Jazz Standards and originals with a singular American feel - these are songs you know and love, whether you know it yet or not. Casey’s guitar and vocal renderings engage your ear with intricacy and nuance. Casey makes for a fun night of covers or original music at a favorite pub or musical entertainment at farmers markets and community events.
Casey LJ is Linas Jauniskis on guitar and vocals, sometimes mandolin and occasional guests on vocals and percussion. Though I like a hard-luck country song as much as the next guy, the atmosphere is always fun and up-beat. This is comfort food for your ears with something for all generations.
