Brad Caswell pours every ounce of his heart and soul into
his music.
No matter what he does, he does his best. "If you're going to do it - do it
right," says Brad. And that is exactly what he does where his vocals and
performances are concerned.
Brad Caswell's home is on the stage. "When I step off of the stage, it's
like I walk out the door of my house. I'm away from home until I go back."
"My fans are like family to me. I try to make my fans feel special. Most
people come to me smiling because they enjoyed my show, but I've also had people
crying because my show touched their heart -- either way, they left happy. It's
a wonderful feeling for me to be able to do this.
Brad's heart has always been filled with music. As a young child he would dance
on his bed with a toy guitar while singing Elvis songs. All through his school
years, his classmates and teachers would have him performing in front of the
class -- on a regular basis. Brad always wanted to be a country music singer,
but people would tell him it's a hard business to get into. That didn't stop
Brad, who was determined he would be what wanted to be in life no matter what
the odds. One day there was a talent contest in high school and Brad decided to
enter. He performed, and when he was finished singing, the entire audience - and
the auditorium was full of students, most of which did not even know Brad - give
him a standing ovation. They called out the winners and when he did not win 1st
place, the audience roared. "What about Brad"," Why didn't Brad
win?", they cried! He found out later that the judges thought he was lip
syncing because he sounded so good - so they didn't pick him pick him because
they thought he was cheating. That day, Brad got his real first taste of the
stage. "I had people coming to me all day telling me how great I sounded
and that they thought I should've won. After the events of that day, I fixated
my mind on making it in this business," Brad says.
Word was out, and within a week, he already had a regular singing job at a state
park restaurant. Next, radio station owner, Wanda Smith, got word of Brad. She
was in charge of the Chester County BBQ Festival. She give him a couple of time
slots - but he ended up singing most of that day and the next. When she heard
him, within minutes she was broadcasting him live over the radio. Every year
since then, he has been the main attraction for the festival.
He has gone on to sing with Loretta Lynn many times, and has opened for many
stars including T G Sheppard, Billy Joe Royal, Gene Watson, and Eddie Raven.
"I always do my best and that's what I want to be - the best. I want a
recording contract more than anything in the world - period. But I want not just
because it's my heart's fulfillment, but for all of the people who have believed
in me along the way, and all to whom my success could benefit. Music is what
keeps my heart alive."
