Some artists shout to be heard. Michael Cassidy whispers—and somehow, that whisper carries further. Based in Glasgow, Cassidy is a singer/songwriter with a rare gift: turning small, human moments into songs that feel universally resonant. His music doesn’t demand attention—it earns it with sincerity, subtlety, and soul.
Drawing from the rich traditions of folk-pop and Americana, Cassidy writes with a storyteller’s instinct. His songs unfold like pages from a well-worn journal: intimate, observant, and emotionally grounded. Whether he’s reflecting on his own life or the lives that intersect with his, there’s an unmistakable truth in his writing. It’s music that meets you where you are.
Featured Tracks
“Death of a Stargazer”
A song steeped in quiet beauty and emotional depth. Cassidy’s gentle guitar and reflective lyrics capture grief and remembrance without ever slipping into sentimentality. It’s a tribute to loss that feels weightless, like a stargazer’s final breath—melancholic, moving, unforgettable.
“Oblivious”
With a subtle blend of warmth and wistfulness, “Oblivious” explores the disconnect so many feel in a fast-paced, hyper-connected world. It’s a song that resonates in today’s digital age, delivered with emotional clarity and a graceful melodic touch.
Why It Matters
Cassidy’s strength lies not in elaborate production or flashy hooks, but in the raw simplicity of his craft. He doesn’t chase trends—he tells stories. And in doing so, he reminds us that real connection can still be found in a quiet lyric, a familiar chord, or the silence between notes.
For fans of Damien Rice, Nick Drake, or Fionn Regan, Michael Cassidy offers something timeless: music that listens as much as it speaks. If you’re looking for songs with heart, stories with soul, and melodies that linger long after the music stops, Michael Cassidy is worth every listen.
Now’s the time to discover—or rediscover—an artist who understands that sometimes, the most powerful songs are the ones that simply feel true.
