?America?s Got Talent? Finalist Cas Haley: Live and In Concert at CWU Mix Bob Marley with a dash of Sublime, toss in a pinch of Southern soul and blues and you?ll cook up a batch of Cas Haley. A top-two finalist of the hit television show ?America?s Got Talent,? Haley has garnered international attention and his tour is currently taking aim at CWU. Campus Activities presents an opportunity to experience Haley?s unique sound Friday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. in the Student Union and Recreation Center (SURC) Pit,. Admission is free and open to the public. Haley is a musician in the truest sense of the word. His style varies between genres, incorporating elements of reggae, ska, jazz and instrumentals. Rather than topping charts or conforming to pop standards, his ambitions drive him to share what he perceives to be music?s purpose. According to his website, ?he focuses on the soul of each song rather than the perfection of details. It?s all about giving his all to spread the joy of music.? Haley?s upcoming performance at CWU offers music-lovers an opportunity to experience his music and the philosophies it communicates.
