Sway Casey-Stained Glass Houses (Video)

Sway Casey is an emcee who wants to create music that makes you feel great or at least makes you feel better. As an emcee, producer, and guitarist, Sway plays many roles in the creation of his music and is always working to make something relatable and highly listenable. Growing up on the North Shore, he was, and is, heavily influenced by the local Massachusetts music scene and has performed regularly in the Boston Metro area as well as various venues across New England. Along the way he has released numerous solo albums along with instrumental LPs. In addition he has collaborated with artists such as Nick Shea, Humble Goods, FREEVØ, Bobby Cento, Jonny Silva, and many more to create a catalogue of music encompassing various different musical styles and sounds.

His latest video Stained Glass Houses is an ode to Michelle La Poetica’s weekly open mic at Walnut St. Cafe in Lynn, MA. “It was a place for both extremely talented and first time open mic-ers to share the same stage and feel the same sense of love and community” says Casey. To compliment that vibe, the visuals are shot by Sway and Conor Tadic (of Elevated Media) while they enjoy some recreational pickup football. “It’s one of my all time favorite things to do so we decided that partnering this upbeat and meaningful song with the fun and lightheartedness of a pickup football game was a fun combo. I wanted to make something that is 100% true to my life. No script, no exaggerations, no bullsh*t; just the real me” says Casey. The song is featured on the Autumn By The Beach EP produced entirely by Sway himself along with additional production and engineering by Mertz. The project is inspired by the feeling of being both happy and sad at the same time. “I knew I needed to expand upon that feeling. For the most part, these songs are more downbeat and chilled out than anything, but in the end, they all leave off on a hopeful note” says Casey.
