Emanuel Casablanca is a Brooklyn-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, painter, and actor. He released his debut LP, Blood on My Hands, in August 2022. The album featured many notable musicians including, Grammy Nominated musician Eric Gales, world renowned guitarist Paul Gilbert, Blues Music Award Winner Albert Castiglia, Grammy Award Winner and Blues Music Award Winner Jimmy Carpenter, Blues Music Award Nominee Kat Riggins and more.
His recently released sophomore album, Strung Out on Thrills, is solely blues/blues-rock based and truly owns the sound of minor blues. Several of his peers are featured on this album, including Kelli Baker, Elliot Sharp, and Blues Music Award Nominee Joanna Connor.
Casablanca now stars in his first lead role in a feature film, Mookie & Worm, which will debut in many notable and international film festivals in 2024. He is currently preparing for a second feature film which will have a Fall ’25 release date. Casablanca has appeared in numerous commercials, including Coke and Gillette, and appeared in season two of Showtime’s Billions.
To add to his artistic portfolio, Casablanca paints both abstract and mixed-media paintings. His work has shown in New York City’s famed Black Wall Street Gallery amongst many other art viewings and shows in NYC, Los Angeles, and Oaxaca, MX.
With his plethora of talents and a busy schedule to match, we feel very fortunate to catch Casablanca in Colorado this summer and even more fortunate to welcome him to our stage for a Devil's Craft debut. The show kicks off at 8:30 with the amazingly talented youth band, Candy Cigarette. Then, Casablanca will keep the party goin with soulful vocals and his guitar-driven modern take on traditional blues rock.
