Casey Desmond (thats me!) has been chosen one of 5 finalist in the WXRV The River Rising Star contest and the winner gets time at the River Music Hall, Airplay, and a gig at Riverfest. The Good News is all you have to do is text the word "Casey" to 42784 on your cell phone and voila!, you've helped me get the votes I need to win.
No registering, no hassel, just one lil' ol text message.
