May 14, 2013 - Arena Football League (AFL)
Iowa Barnstormers News Release
Des Moines, IA - The Iowa Barnstormers announced today that rising country star Casey Muessigmann will perform the National Anthem prior to the Barnstormers home game versus the Tampa Bay Storm on Saturday, June 1. Many fans might recognize him for his appearance during season 3 of the hit television series, "The Voice", where he was a member of Blake Shelton's team.
A native of Spencer, Iowa, Casey got his start in church and school choirs, before eventually expanding his horizons to local and state wide talent searches, including the Colegate Country Showdown, and an audition for American Idol in 2008. Deciding to take his music to the next level, he continued to hone his craft as a singer/songwriter, and in 2010 released his first album titled "Together We'll Ride." In 2012, Muessigmann participated in the open audition process for The Voice, Season 3. After battling through the early auditions, he won a slot in the Blind Auditions, and eventually turned the chairs of two judges, ultimately choosing to join Blake Shelton's team. Since his elimination from the show, Muessigmann has used the entire experience as a springboard, continuing his writing and performing at several fairs, festivals, and casinos in the Midwest. In the Summer of 2013, Muessigmann will begin production on his self titled EP, featuring several of his own tracks.
