Like a Texas tornado, country music fans continue to be swept away by the explosive
performances of Casey Pilgreen and Born South. Pilgreen, a native of Waurika,
Oklahoma, had performed solo at numerous events such as National FFA Conventions,
State Honor Bands, was honored to perform specials for President George Bush.
After leaving Graham Brothers Entertainment as Karaoke manager in 1998, Pilgreen
formed the four-piece Born South Band. In 1999, Casey Pilgreen and Born South were
voted best local band by the readers of Times Record News, Wichita Falls, TX. In 2005,
they won the Battle of the Bands competition held at the Comanche Red River Casino,
Randlett, OK. The band is comprised of the multiple talents of Dave Kinnett, drums and
percussion, Steve Toler, bass and vocals, Guy McDonald, lead guitar and vocals, and
Pilgreen, lead vocals, rhythm and electric guitar, harmonica, trumpet and fiddle.
Together, they electrify audiences with their blend of old, new and original songs, which
leave no one disappointed. This clean-cut band delivers true entertainment time and
time again.
Whether a small group event or a stadium sell out, from acoustic to full band concerts,
or at church on Sunday morning, their talents are sure to be a crowd pleaser, keeping
their audiences begging for more. Their first CD, written by Pilgreen, either alone or in
conjunction with other musicians, features Thinkin’ Bout Drinkin’ which was #1 on the
local charts for eight straight weeks. They are due back in the studio later this year to
complete production of their second high octane CD, appropriately titled Pilgreen Fuel.
The band has opened for legends such as Gary Stewart, Cross Canadian Ragweed,
Johnny Lee and their hero – the late, great Chris LeDoux. Having played rodeos,
dances and nightclubs from Utah to Texas, they call Outskirts in Wichita Falls “home”
where they continually pack the house as a regularly featured band.
Often referred to as another Garth Brooks, Pilgreen captivates his audience as he
delivers the total entertainment experience, packed with charisma and exploding with
personality. He always takes time to meet the audience and sign autographs making
each guest feel special and appreciated, as if a member of the Casey Pilgreen and
Born South “family”. Pilgreen works the crowd and gets “down and personal” with high-
energy performances that leave even the most skeptical audience “hooked” on the
Pilgreen adrenalin.
Experience for yourself the “WOW” of Casey Pilgreen and Born South, a breath of fresh
air in the entertainment industry. You too will become a dedicated fan!
