Casey Berry and the Live Texas Mosquitoes seem to get a laugh from most people that hear the name for the first time, but to Casey and the guys in the band their music isn’t all that funny. Casey’s actual music career started as kind of a fluke. He was teaching guitar in an Amarillo music store, when he befriended Jim Whisenhunt (Cooder Graw). Jim informed Casey that he needed to be recording the songs he had been writing. Jim agreed to help and brought in the band to play on the Album. Cody Downes (bass), Brandon Parlow(drums), and Gary Wayne Thomason on guitar. Half way through the recording, Cody started booking gigs. It never seemed to slow down. Casey and the guys have played shows with many Texas favorites and gained the respect of their peers. The LTM band has since changed some members. Bryan Wilson replaced Gary Wayne, Frank San Miguel replaces Cody Downes on bass, but it was always a step in the right direction.

Armed with the new and improved band, Casey felt like it was time to put out music that represented the bands current sound. Matt Martindale, fresh off the road with Cooder Graw, agreed to help. Matt signed on to produce. The new album “Vintage” set to be released in October, was recorded at Troubadour Studios in McGregor. The single should be iat radio stations soon, so be sure to listen to your Texas/Red Dirt Radio and check out the band with the funny little name from Amarillo.
