Nebraska's Casting Pearls receive the big label push
AFTER YEARS of small-time gigs and independent releases, Nebraska rock
trio Casting Pearls have been thrown into the UAS'anational spotlight
with the release of their self-titled album on InPop Records. The
band features Bryan Olesen, who joined the Newsboys at the end of
2003, but who has also continued to front Casting Pearls. The band's
national release was produced by Jason Burkum and Nathan Dantzler
(Audio Adrenaline, Tree63). Said Olesen, "The cool thing about
Casting Pearls is that we're content wherever the Lord wants us.
We're smart enough to know that getting a record deal is not the
ultimate be all, end all. We're going to continue to do what we do
and walk through the door the Lord opens for us. The bottom line is
it's his call in terms of where he wants us to go."
I am very happy to see that things are working out for Casting Pearls. They really deserve it!
