CASSIDY TODAY--NEW SERIES ON FAMILY CHANNEL!
Cassidy made a striking resurrection in 1990 with a new, self-titled album and top 40 hit single Lyin’ To Myself that led to his visible and viable career ever since! Having performed on Broadway in the theatrical giant Blood Brothers, Cassidy also broke records in Las Vegas during the 90’s and beyond with sellout performances of the highly successful EFX. Also having produced two other Vegas hits, “The Rat-Pack Is Back,” and “At The Copa,” Cassidy is set to star in an upcoming TV series on ABC Family Channel titled “Ruby & The Rockits.” The pilot, which stars Cassidy and brother Patrick, is written by yet another famous Cassidy brother--Shaun! Tune in! It’s certain to be a new generation of family fun with the Cassidy brothers!
