Casey Ellison

Casey was born on June 12th, 1977, in Springfield, Missouri. His desire for singing and entertaining began at an early age. His fifth grade teacher recognized his talent and elected him to play Santa Claus in the Christmas play at his school.

In high school, Casey sang in operas, working with the director from the New York City Opera. Casey went on to college at Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU) majoring in vocal performance. While attending college, he auditioned for the nationally known southern gospel group called Chosen Few.

Casey was offered the position and sang lead for Chosen Few for nearly ten years, including several at Silver Dollar City. In 2001, the group decided to leave Silver Dollar City to travel and tour to different churches around the country.

Casey received a phone call from Dan Britton asking him to fill in for Pierce Arrow. He accepted but was not sure yet if this was the permanent solution for him. After he sought the answer through prayer, he felt confident that Pierce Arrow was the right move. No doubt, as he has a smile that goes on for miles.
