In the studio with John working on final mixes for the CD. It has been an amazing journey. I have
learned to really embrace this whole process and have patience. I feel like John and I have created something really
wonderful. I can't wait to share it with the world!
"Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band were awesome!Their music was fantastic, they interacted with the audience and put
on a great show. Probably the best thing about the band though was they were so easy to work with and were so down to earth.
I can't wait to bring them back next year!" Streetfest July 9, 2011, Champaign, IL - Tony Oligney-Estill, Special Events Manager-Champaign Park District
“It reminds me very much
of the likes of Shaun Colvin or even Mary Chapin Carpenter (both of whom I love). The musicianship is top-drawer, great melodies,
engaging and emotional lyrics. There's little more to say except if there is any justice in the world the band would be
well known" Rich Wilson ~ UK based freelance rock writer for publications like Classic Rock Magazine
“From the moment I put
“Here I am” on, I was taken on a journey…. All the emotional elements were revealed…Cassandra’s
powerful, versatile vocals were inspiring. The first song touched me when the chorus came on. Wow! It’s really exciting
listening to this CD. Cassandra’s vocals, lyrics songwriting and the production are all right there. Each song a story,
a bit of her life in each verse. Peter Calo ~ New York Guitarist, Composer, Producer, best known for
his work with Carly Simon
CASSANDRA'S musical style builds on the traditions of Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Crow and Sarah Mclachlan, but is uniquely
her own. Inspired by personal experiences and a true desire to help others through music, her original
songs focus on love, loss, self-reflection, healing and dreams. Cassandra's high energy performances and
soaring vocals connect to the audience straight from the heart. Cassandra is available to perform solo, as a small acoustic group
or with her band- Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band.
