The Undisputed Heavyweights
 Watch a bunch of videos (performance and behind-the-scenes) go to our YouTube channel UndisputedTV and our website BetterThanElvis.com has free downloads! :) WHAT OTHERS SAY Officially my favorite band to see live in NYC. - Underrated Magazine The local favorites in the Undisputed Heavyweights come armed with lounge-ready shtick, but they are more than just tongue-in-cheek hipsters. Brandishing acoustic guitars and a horn section, the Heavyweights deliver an accomplished rock/blues/soul hybrid, and their endearingly uninhibited front man, Casey Shea, puts them right in the tradition of vaudevillian showmanship. - The New Yorker The Undisputed Heavyweights show really is a thing of its own. It's an Vaudevillian acoustic/rock/blues show, or something. Casey's stage persona is equal parts James Brown, Elvis Presley, and Bono. He struts, he preens, his gestures wildly. Heck, the guy wears sunglasses on stage and gets away with it. But then comes the surprise, etched in cursive on the head of a pin. Listen closely, and the songs are beautifully heartfelt, and wrenching. - Benjamin Wagner (MTVNews.com) They've got some pretty crazy stage antics mixed with beautiful lyrics and talent all around to back it up. It's a heartfelt lounge act, if you can imagine such a thing. - Gothamist The Undisputed Heavyweigts live up to their name - New York Post "Frank Sinatra meets the Doors in a way only Stevie Wonder can dream of." "This NYC group has a song in its heart and a real desire to entertain." - AM New York I haven't seen such pure joy on people's faces as I did the night the Heavyweights played. - IndieDontDance These guys know what entertainment is, and they are all stellar musicians as well. I love watching people's reactions when they see the Undisputed Heavyweights for the first time. Priceless. - Jessie Robertson, Local Correspondents There's a band in NYC that is mixing the late period Elvis lounge act with the earnest folk rock strivings of Bob Dylan. The band is the appropriately named The Undisputed Heavyweights [...]. NYC has it's own vibrant music community of which Casey Shea (solo) and his band The Undisputed Heavyweights are at the forefront. - Songs:Illinois "Sweltering Blues and Soul with a sense of humor". - CMJ Like a folkrock lounge explosion, LES trio The Undisputed Heavyweights are a sexy Tom Jones meets Bob Dylan experience not to be missed. - Jenyk.com "Never trust a big butt and a smile" - Bell Biv Devoe Check out an interview on Gothamist HERE.
