Casey Frensz

“Ween is one of the only bands that can get away with blending many different styles. I don’t know how but they do and so does Frensz. It’s an impressive trait and certainly points to a talented enough musician who can pull that type of thing off. This album is one of my favorites from Frensz. Highly recommended.”

“Learning To Love” is a beautiful album – the production and engineering is incredible (as to be expected from Casey Frensz), while the arrangements are just phenomenal. It may be worlds apart from your mainstream fodder stylistically, but there’s a cohesion and purity to this record that the most unassuming music fan will easily come to appreciate, with an open mind. For the rest of us progressive and groove heads, “Learning To Love” is simply orgasmic.”

“This release is an experimental funk album somewhere between Parliament-Funkadelic and Frank Zappa. It’s a fully realized album with rich instrumental work and catchy melodies that would sound good at a party or give you a little extra motivation while working out at the gym.”

“Throughout his musical expositions Casey allows us to observe his many procedures, whilst the walls of his music magically sedate us. If after listening to “Spaceship Stereo” and “In The Groove”, you believe that he is a genius and a visionary, or even merely, an overrated screwball, there is no doubt as to his abject refusal to play by the rules.”

“The album is very eclectic and diverse and doesn't stick to one style or genre. As talented a musician as Frensz is he makes it seem easy being able to adapt.”

“These songs are fluid, morphing, psychedelic gems. The virtuosity and creativity contained within are truly inspiring. The collection of songs on the album “Identity Games” encapsulates the sound of a bygone era that I think really defines the spirit and daring that made it so engaging. This album seems to me to be as much a musical statement as a great collection of songs. I hear an artist committed to songwriting and performance as an art form, and to the listeners who are willing to explore with his material.”

“Each song assumes its own character; the funkier tunes contain various horns and trumpets while the mellower, hippie folk ballads throw occasionally depressing, yet honest and gratifying lyricism for the listener to relate to. There isn’t a track on this album that is forgettable, nor are there moments where I felt that Frensz was sulking too much. The artist excellently balances varying emotions to compose a project that is compelling and easy to relate with, for we’ve all been through tough spirals of our own.”

“Like something plucked from an ancient monastery, music that feels like it was untouched by modern pop. And yet, many of the songs are memorable and accessible. Casey Frensz is a gorgeous-sounding, multi-talented artist with a heart that writes songs which will have you joyously nodding your head along with them, grateful that priceless music like this exists today…songs that haunt you deliciously long after they’re over.”

'“With “Spiral” Casey Frensz sculpts a fantastic sound, one that offers a fantastic update of psychedelic folk. Vocals are honeyed and beautiful. Arrangements present a wild gorgeous view, as Casey Frensz opts for a great deal of instrumental variation over the course of the album. Naturalistic in sound the pieces truly teem with life with every detail explored in full. Layer upon layer of sound are carefully balanced resulting in an album that twists and turns in unexpected fantastic ways.”

Since my son started private instruction with Casey, a passion for playing guitar has been fueled. Nagging to practice has been replaced with nagging for my son to take time from playing to finish homework. It is not uncommon to hear guitar music coming from my son’s room once all are in bed - possibly a parent’s dream problem? Through his inspiration and instruction, Casey has helped my son find a passion. Most importantly, my son has said that “Mr. Frensz is a great teacher and friend. He teaches at any pace and helps me learn by playing music of interest to me.” Casey’s impact can possibly best be summarized by my sons comment, “Mr. Frensz is also a great person.” Casey has been everything we were looking for: talented musician, inspirational teacher, down-to-earth person, and a great friend-mentor.

Casey Frensz has been my son’s guitar teacher for 3 years. My son started lessons in 8th grade and absolutely loves it. It’s clear that Casey has a talent and passion for connecting with middle and high school students, drawing out of a real love and understanding of music. He’s always professional, on time, and enthusiastic. I highly recommend him as a music teacher.
