If you’re a little bit country, the Turkey Festival entertainment will take you down home for an authentic taste of Nashville on Broadway.
Nashville Singer/ songwriter Casey Cattie will kick-off the evening with a set of original heartfelt country tunes. Casey spent the first 18 years of her life singing all over a small town in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania, but after being a contestant on the NBC show THE VOICE, Casey knew she had to take the plunge and chase her dreams. She moved to Nashville in 2014, and has spent the last three years playing writer rounds, and networking with other song writers while performing any chance she gets in music city - Nashville. Her heartfelt lyrics and performance are sure to please.
