Though he’d written songs since high school, country singer Casey Donahew didn’t start performing his own material until he taught himself to play guitar in college. ∙ Beginning with 2010’s Double-Wide Dream, Donahew landed four consecutive albums in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. ∙ Matchbox Twenty’s Yourself or Someone Like You inspired Donahew’s songwriting, and he covered their hit “3 am” for his 2017 greatest-hits set, 15 Years - The Wild Ride. ∙ He has self-released all his music under the guidance of his manager-wife, Melinda.
