Live Acoustic Sessions

Dylan Cassidy - 2AM Sessions (2021)

2AM Sessions are a collection of intimately quiet recordings from 2020-21. These songs have been in my repertoire for many years, I just never bothered to record them until now.

I play "Fade Into You", "Shimmer" and "Honey Don't Think" on my beloved '94 Jackson Concept. I play my pink Carly acoustic guitar on "Home". The rest are played on my Alvarez acoustic.

Dylan Cassidy - 5th Street Sessions (2019)

A live album? Of nothing but guitar solos??

5th Street Sessions is a collection of instrumental jam sessions with my father, SF. He plays a variety of acoustic guitars while I play my Jackson Concept. These were recorded in my Cullman apartment.

This album showcases my shredding ability and penchant for guitar effects (delay, reverb, distortion, etc). Most of these songs were recorded on the first take, so my playing is highly improvised.

"Hyperion" and "Blood Moon Blues" are complete sessions, the other tracks are edited. Six bonus tracks are available, including full sessions and some outtakes.

1. The Sophic Aerolith 03:48
2. All is Not Gold That Glitters 03:53
3. Hyperion 04:41
4. Helios 02:26
5. Blood Moon Blues 06:54
6. Order of the Assassins 02:18
7. Order of the Illuminati, Sirius Section 03:32

released January 21, 2019
