Jack Cassidy Launches Acclaimed Debut CD

Jack Cassidy“I just love to sing, I can’t help it! Nothing makes me feel the way I feel when I sing”

I first introduced Jack Cassidy here last April after his articles appeared on Stars2come and Theskykid.com. What captivated me most was the feeling Jack expressed when he sang his cover of the uplifting song The More I Seek You.

His mother Krista told us;

“Even before Jack could talk, he was singing and capturing our attention with his rare talent. “He was 2 years old, singing in key with music. It was tough to pick up the words, but the melody was right on,”.

Jack Cassidy Be Still My Soul CD

Before long, Jack was singing in public. Whether in a leading role in a musical or as a soloist at a church service, his pure and soothing voice began captivating audiences around his hometown of Maple Grove, Minnesota, and beyond.  Jack is now ready to sing for the world and recently launched his debut CD entitled ” Be Still My Soul“.

Be Still My Soul is a collection of inspirational and soulful songs, performed in such a way that it will uplift your soul and capture your heart.

Two-time Emmy winning producer Darren Rust, whose Skyland Studio was the site of much of the recording said;

“In my 20+ years as a producer and engineer, I’ve seen a lot of talented individuals come and go, but rarely do I get to experience true, raw talent from someone as young as Jack Cassidy. Jack has been blessed with a beautiful singing voice that is pure and sweet, and he possesses skill way beyond his years. I believe this young man’s gift is truly special, and needs be shared.”

Carson Lueders Washington’s Wonder Boy!

“I hope to be a positive influence and role model to others through my music and my actions.”

Singer, Songwriter, Performer Carson Lueders

Carson Lueders It’s been a big year of growth for Carson Lueders and his music since first appearing here on Rivenmaster’s Place.  Carson’s fan base has exploded and is reaching around the globe. His YouTube channel continues to gain new subscribers daily and his fan base is now made up from faithful Carson Lueders fans from 109 different countries!  (There are 196 total countries so that’s over ½ the world watching Carson’s videos)  It took about 3 years to get his 1st million YouTube views but only 3 months to get his 2nd million!!! Now he has gone over the 3 million mark averaging 10-20K views a day.

Because Carson is so young, having just turned 11, he seems to be standing out and separating himself from the pack of older teen boys that are competing in the saturated music market.  He is constantly being compared to other boys in the industry and often being called the next Justin Bieber, little Cody Simpson, or baby Niall Horan.  But many of his fans assure him he is not the next of anything but the FIRST & ONLY Carson! Everyday fans send him words of encouragement, compliments and even marriage proposals.  Carson appreciates it all, including all the fan videos and picture collages.

Carson has been playing and performing since age five. He has been a guest on local radio since age six, and has been featured on the local news throughout the years. At just the age of nine he also won a national songwriting contest.

Although he started out playing mostly country music, Carson is now leaning more towards pop music. Some have even said that Carson could be a cross over artist like Taylor Swift.

Carson and His Brother Perform Keith Urban Cover

 

His Mother exclaimed;

“It’s been a great honor for many artists to acknowledge and complement Carson on the covers songs he has done.  Some artists including Keith Urban, Aaron Carter and Australian teen Cody Simpson have even helped to promote Carson’s music through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.”

I asked Carson if he would do an exclusive interview for this article and I’m pleased that he took the time to do so.  The following is an excerpt from that interview:
