Young Cassidy

IT WAS 2018. RAUL WAS ON THE OPEN ROAD; VAGABONDING AROUND THE COUNTRY IN HIS VAN SOUL SEARCHING AND TAKING ODD JOBS TO GET BY. STEPPING AWAY AND SEARCHING FOR A PURPOSE BROUGHT HIM TO A REALIZATION THAT MAKING MUSIC WAS ENGRAVED IN HIS IDENTITY. “I CLEARLY FORGOT HOW MUCH OF A PART OF ME IT REALLY IS.” AFTERALL, RAUL AND HIS YOUNGER BROTHER GABRIEL HAD BEEN ADAMANT MUSICIANS IN THEIR YOUNGER YEARS AROUND THE MIAMI AREA. “I WAS READY TO PICK IT BACK UP AND AT THE SAME TIME, MY BROTHER GABRIEL WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A STUDIO BACK HOME. THE TIMING COULDN’T HAVE BEEN BETTER.” WITH THAT BEING SAID, RAUL HEADED BACK TO SOUTH FLORIDA, READY TO GIVE BLOOM TO WHAT WOULD BE YOUNG CASSIDY. RAUL RECRUITED GOOD FRIEND ALEX ONE NIGHT AT THEIR FAVORITE LOCAL BAR, FAT CATS. SHORTLY AFTER SHARING A DEMO OF THE BAND’S VERY FIRST SONG, BAD NEWS, RAUL’S OLD FRIEND MIKE CALLED HIM IMMEDIATELY. THE CONVERSATION LEAD TO MIKE JOINING AS THE BASS PLAYER AND MIKE’S OLD FRIEND AND FORMER BANDMATE, DAN, GETTING THE GIG FOR SECOND GUITAR. ALL THE PARTS OF YOUNG CASSIDY WERE NOW IN PLACE.
