The Avalon Theatre in Easton presents up and coming singer and songwriter Cassie Peterson on Saturday, December 3. Growing up in Nashville as the daughter of a singer-songwriter, Cassie experienced a wealth of musical experiences that have shaped her musical
career.
From an article this summer in the New York Times, “At the 40th Annual Kerrville Folk Festival in June, folk legends including Judy Collins and Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary were the headliners, but the winner of the Festival’s prestigious New Folk Songwriting Competition was a 24-year-old named Cassie Peterson. A few years earlier when Peterson’s passion was jazz, she won a DownBeat Magazine Student Music Award – two years in a row.Winning either of these competitions is brutally hard.Winning both is exceedingly rare, and Cassie’s one of the only singers and songwriters versatile and gifted enough to do it. ”
