01 / This Month's Spotlight
“The music lives through the people who show up, play it, support it, and pass it forward.”
A musician whose groove, versatility, and dedication have made her an important part of New Orleans music culture and the wider SDFU community.
Known for her deep grooves and versatile style, Cass has performed with renowned artists including Papa Mali, Cowboy Mouth, and Charmaine Neville, and served as a bandleader for Cirque du Soleil.
She has also been a cornerstone of the house rhythm section for WWOZ Piano Night, accompanying legendary musicians such as Dr. John, Eddie Bo, and Marcia Ball.
Whether performing on stages around the world or inspiring the next generation of musicians, Cass embodies the passion, dedication, and spirit that make the SDFU community extraordinary.
Thank you, Cass, for helping keep the music alive.
