Casey Barnes kicked off 2023 with a bang, picking up Golden Guitar Awards for Toyota Album of the
Year and Top Selling Album of the Year for his latest album, Light It Up. The ten song set also
received the 2022 ARIA Award for Best Country Album.
Debuting #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart and #3 on the All-Genre Australian Album
chart, Light It Up features five smash hit singles including “Come Turn Me On”, “God Took His Time
On You”, “Get To Know Ya” (all of which reached #1 on the CountryTown Hot50 chart) and recent
singles “Kiss Me Like You Mean It” and “Small Town”.
Produced by Melbourne based production team MSquared (Michael Delorenzis and Michael Paynter),
‘Light It Up’ features ten new original songs, all co-written by Casey with MSquared and Nashville
singer-songwriters Kaci Brown and Sam Gray. The album has spent over ten months in the Top 20 of
the ARIA Australian Country Album chart, while Casey’s catalogue has amassed
over 46 million combined streams. Casey’s electrifying live show has made him one of the most
popular touring acts in Australian country and the massive ‘Light It Up’ tour has taken him
across Australia and to the U.S, where he toured with the vocal group, Home Free.
Casey was a fixture on Australian TV in 2022, with ‘Light it Up’ being used for the AFL season launch
TV commercials while ‘Get To Know Ya’ featured on the Farmer Wants A Wife launch campaign.
Casey won't be slowing down in 2023, with new music to be released and a full schedule of Australian
and U.S touring.
