Sierra Cassidy

 Acoustic funky pop songstress, Sierra Cassidy, lures listeners with sultry vocals, evocative lyrics, and groovy guitar hooks.  With a wide range of influences such as Jamiroquai, Michael Jackson, and Ed Sheeran, Sierra redefines the modern day singer-songwriter as an independent female artist touching on everything from political climate to the art of heartbreaking.  Her vibey performances often have large venues dancing along and have more intimate rooms infatuated with her folky tunes. Sierra takes you on a trip as she tells her side of the story while introducing hip-hop rhythms and soulful singing into acoustic music.
