Cassandra Robertson

Cassandra Robertson is a conduit for all things positive.  Her original songs shed light on the unlimited potential of the human spirit, inspiring her audience to revolutionize their own lives.  This Oregon-raised singer/songwriter blends original guitar and vocal melodies that focus on solutions to political and social challenges of our time.  With song topics ranging from quantum physics and organic gardening to stories of community activism, Cassandra’s variety of progressive folk-grass appeals to an array of music fans.

The buzz continues to build as Cassandra Robertson’s brand of "acoustic conscious folk" is now available in a new CD, Impulse to Dream.  Her second release is full of bright, socially aware lyrics that take on the challenges of our time with solutions and inspiration.  The album transverses the galaxy of musical styles ranging from bluegrass, to funk, to new age indie pop all the while holding its roots in the singer/songwriter folk traditions.

Her debut album, “The Time is Now” was released in August 2006, showcasing Cassandra as a musician with a clear and heartfelt message. Songs such as “Love and Be Loved,” “Awaken to Peace,” and “Finding New Ways” exemplify her songwriting ability to awaken the spirit in all of us and move us to action. 

A refreshing departure from traditional sorrowful folk music tales, Cassandra’s performance will enliven any stage, and convey a rare optimism and excitement for life.

“Corvallis performer Cassandra Robertson fights with her voice and her guitar. She uses her words not as weapons, but as a rallying cry to others who, like her, have had enough.  Her first album, “The Time is Now,” in 2006 brought her brand of acoustic conscious folk to a wide audience, and her new release, “Impulse to Dream,” features more of that same blend of wry observations and optimism as she envisions a different kind of world.” The Gazette Times

“Her rich and unaffected singing voice can bring to mind visions of greats like Joan Baez, and her lyrical poetry reveals those who have influenced her like Holly Near, Pete Seeger and other minstrels whose names will forever be linked to the goals of peace and freedom for people worldwide.” Tacoma Weekly

 “An artist who can voice her opinion and at the same time create songs that are open to interpretation by the listener have a much better chance at surviving the changes that each year brings, and singer/songwriter Cassandra Robertson is one such artist.” Volcano Weekly

“Robertson’s depth of serious and earnest appeal can’t be denied.” Eugene Weekly

 “A genuine troubadour of the highest degree, Robertson travels the Northwest making socially conscious acoustic folk music rooted in the 1960s yet updated for our modern times, which sometimes seem to be in about as much of an uproar as they were 40 years ago.” Tacoma Weekly
