Being 20-something isn’t so bad when you’re songwriting your way through life.
Weaving experience into inspiration, Cassidy Houston, creates music as an ode to the resilience and beauty of love, life, and the queer spirit.
With each lyric and chord, their indie folk style captures the essence of adventure, the pain of unspoken truths, and the joy of living authentically. Their songs are not just compositions; they are open-hearted conversations, confessions, and declarations, mirrored against the backdrop of Northern Ontario’s blossoming yet ever-evolving beauty.
Drawing inspiration from the soul-stirring melodies of Rose Cousins, the ethereal power of Florence Welch, the timeless grace of Stevie Nicks, and the raw honesty of Sheryl Crow, Cassidy crafts songs that are not just heard but deeply felt.
Cassidy’s Sophomore EP, red flag flowers is set for release late Summer 2024; a journey of exploring stories of love, heartbreak, and the silly, but meaningful, moments of growth that happen during the in-between.
Raised on the shores of gitchi gami, elements of the natural world are deeply embedded within the way Cassidy creates and shares music. Cassidy's latest project, a poignant songwriting journey undertaken with their maternal grandfather, serves as a bridge spanning generations, cultures, and the immutable love for Mother Earth. This endeavour is not just a collection of songs but a heartfelt tribute to the enduring bond between family and the earth; a celebration of the stories that flow like rivers through the bedrock of their being.
