WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE WRITER/PRODUCER AND SINGER SHAUN CASSIDY JOINING US AS OUR HOST
After making his name as a performer, Cassidy went on to create, write, and/or produce a number of critically acclaimed television series including AMERICAN GOTHIC (produced with Sam Raimi), ROAR (starring a then unknown Heath Ledger), COLD CASE, COVER ME, THE AGENCY, BLUE BLOODS, COVER ME, INVASION, and EMERALD CITY. Cassidy currently serves as executive producer and writer for the NBC series NEW AMSTERDAM.
Cassidy grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums, numerous top ten hits, and sold-out concerts at every major arena in the country. Almost concurrently, Cassidy starred in the ABC television series “The Hardy Boys Mysteries.” Later, while appearing on Broadway in the hit musical drama “Blood Brothers,” he wrote his first television pilot, “American Gothic.” When the show debuted, The New York Times called it “The most original new show of the season.” In 2020, Cassidy took his one man show “The Magic of a Midnight Sky” to the stage, playing to SRO crowds nationwide, his first live music performance in almost forty years.
