Casey Wickstrom is a multi-instrumentalist looping artist from San Jose, CA. He sings and plays guitar, lap slide, three string slide cigar box guitar, bass, and other instruments. His latest single "Eminence Front" charted on Apple Music Blues charts, and he has been named one of the Top 100 Unsigned Artists by Music Connection Magazine.
Casey Wickstrom was born in Mountain View, California, but grew up in the small isolated mountain town of Durango, Colorado. It was here that he began writing and playing music, inspired by artists like Paul Simon and Ben Harper. The prominent bluegrass scene in Durango influenced Wickstrom to pursue guitar, bass, and take up lap slide guitar, using an old acoustic that he converted into a lap slide.
