Nashville-based singer-songwriter Cassidy Dickens views life as a series of interlacing stories—and she just can’t help but write them all down.
Raised on an eclectic blend of classic country, bluegrass, and oldies, Cassidy first fell in love with “story songs” in the back of her dad’s Chevy Lumina while driving through her hometown in southern West Virginia.
She was four. The song was “Lonesome Dove” by Garth Brooks. And as her dad helped her understand the complex tale of true love, impassioned revenge, and female strength, she felt a little spark flicker to life in her heart.
From that day on, she’s chased her passion for singing and songwriting all over the U.S., performing throughout Appalachia, the southeast, and the west coast for more than a decade. When her family moved to California during her late teenage years, Cassidy truly found her voice and developed a sound all her own—a rootsy-but-modern, east-meets-west sensibility that marries the sincerity of folk icons like Patty Griffin and Lori Mckenna with the edge of powerful female artists like Alanis Morissette and Jewel.
