FAWM.ORG | Dutch Cassidy

Artist Bio

Influences: John Hiatt, Jason Isbell, Justin Currie, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Jim Groce, Loudon Wainwright III, Neil Young, Steve Earle... should I go on?

Yes he's Dutch, but he serves up true and raw Americana, as natural as breathing a Nashville breeze. A mix of country, blues, rock'n'roll and folk.
As real as it gets. Songs that'll break your heart or drive you to drink.

Thanks so much for the nice comments! I'm a new fan of yours as well.
@davewermers Feb 26

Thanks for listening to "Loose Ends". Maybe I will have to try put "Loose Bowels" to music. We'll see what I can do tonight.
@cindyrella Feb 26

😁 thanks
@cindyrella Feb 26

Yes! It is a funny one!
@cindyrella Feb 26

Any you feel you want to do-go for it!
@cindyrella Feb 26

I tell myself I won't write as many songs this year, but ideas keep coming. Sometimes they me up, or I dream them. This year is even worse, or is it better? 😊
@billgcaldwell Feb 24

Congrats on 14 Dutch. You deserve a beer or two!
@lieke Feb 23

Unfortunately I couldn't stay in the lakehouse, change of plans. I put up my first song in Dutch language, just letting you know. Thanks for your patience.
@lieke Feb 23

Congrats on your win!
@mardeycranbleson Feb 22

Wow you've been busy! Not sure if I'll be able to but might try to catch up this weekend.
@max Feb 21

Yes, lijkt me gezellig. Hoe laat gaat ie ook al weer live?
Ik moet donderdagochtend werken maar ben de middag/avond vrij.
@max Feb 21

Huh, was je er ook?
Ik heb em nog voorzien van een plectrum ook 😀
@metalfoot Feb 21

To be clear-- I thought your playing on Cheques was fine, but that's just what the song is about!
@misterd Feb 20

Thanks for listening to my old time blues piano song . Appreciate it !
@stephenwordsmith Feb 18

Go for it!
@cindyrella Feb 18

I think turning upside down was just the perfect thing to do! Awesome!
@cindyrella Feb 18

Thanks so much for Upside Down in Love! It is wonderful.
@cindyrella Feb 18

Yes that will be fine!
@tsunamidaily Feb 17

thanks for your version of bad apples-- i have been superbusy this week at work, with valentine's day and extra functions, so i have barely been on all week. sorry i'm just now getting back to you about it!
@lain Feb 16

Thanks for your comment in my soundbard - Yeah FAWM is magic! 😀 I never thought I would write that much songs as I had quite a down before .... 😀 I am very happy that I am here with all of you guys.
@acousticmaddie Feb 14

Thanks for the fab comment on my anti valentines 😀 <3
@flutterby42 Feb 14

Thanks for your thoughts on the song about my dad. You were bang on with your description of him. And you're right, he did have some stories to tell. Inspiration for a song or two perhaps?
@flutterby42 Feb 14

Thanks for your kind words about my waltz and taking the time to write about it. I loved your description of the memories it evoked. I did not know about the Swedish waltz lengthened 3rd best, so thanks for sharing. I am going to have to listen for it.
@crimulus Feb 13

Thanks so much for the impromptu pep talk! I was so tired last night all the "getting old" thoughts were really driving everything. I actually really liked the song this morning, for the most part, but even better, thanks to your comment and some other things people said to me, I woke up this morning about as optimistic on a birthday as I have been for a good five years. I really can't stress enough how meaningful your words were.

Additionally, I had NO IDEA I left the flub up in the beginning of the video. I thought I was cropping it to the final cut, but I missed -- back to being tired. Looking back, though, seeing as how it really was a kind of diary entry, it works really well, because it shows the process that went into it.

Again, here's my never-possible-to-be-sufficient thanks, as usual. You're a seriously valuable asset to the FAWM community.
@lain Feb 13

Thank you for your comment on "30 seconds" - I appreciate 😀
@cindyrella Feb 12

Sure! Give it a go
@crimulus Feb 12

Thanks Dutch! I've returned the YT sub, and I'll be back for more of yours later. Right now I'm trying to pace myself with listening to songs with the Randomizer, but you've given me a lot of great encouragement and feedback, and I will certainly return the favor.
@mustanglola87 Feb 11

hihi ik ken t, heb er net ook maar 1 opgepleurd onder t motto 'danbenkdrmoarvanaf'

@tamsnumber4 Feb 10

Thanks for commenting and listening to "Nothin' To Lose", appreciate it!
@mardeycranbleson Feb 8

Yep I was a little late this year due to work stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to make time. I actually haven't done much music since last fawm so may take me like 5 songs to warm up.
@kanttila Feb 7

I don't think metaphor was the right word. I just mean I like the idea of singing about being "the breeze". Though I suppose the way you've written it is more literal than not.
@tseaver Feb 7

> I'm thinking of setting it to a different key just to spice up the
> vocals. To get more energy from the words... whatchu reckon?

Do you mean trasposing it up in the middle of the song (maybe before that last verse, signaling the change in mood?) Or for the whole song?
@moonraccoon Feb 6

Thank you in return, Dutch -- that's high praise! As with your The Breeze, my Troughs of Knowing Weeds wasn't intended for FAWM... and then it happened 😀
@billgcaldwell Feb 6

Hey Dutch, thanks for commenting on When I Dream of You. Fun times at FAWM.
@tsunamidaily Feb 6

how goes it? glad to see you off to such a start this year. of course you can have dibs on bad apples. go for it.
@natalieedelson Feb 6

Thanks for your kind words on my tune - looking forward to hearing you!
@hamiltonpoolhall Feb 5

I'm not familiar with that Mose Allison song, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the flurry of kind comments, I'll be sure and check back here to listen further myself.
@lieke Feb 5

Yes I will be making music this year!
@mrmule Feb 5

Thank you! Yeah, I make everything pretty much by myself, being the antisocial DIY-oriented "thing" that I am. I taught myself some saxophone by playing it live and recording it (I think I still have way under 100 hours of playing it in total), and I am happy that i can make exactly the kind of music that I want with it!
@crimulus Feb 4

Thanks for the encouraging comments Dutch! I've been struggling a bit with the process and have just tried to stay heads down to power through.

It really helps to get a few kind words, and hopefully I start to feel a little nimbler after this initial sluggishness. 😀

You rock!
@mustanglola87 Feb 3

Hallooooo Olavvvvv
Hoor je mij???
@acousticmaddie Feb 1

Thanks for your kind comment on burn the town down <3
@billgcaldwell Feb 1

Thanks for the comment on Sunny Day, Dutch. FAWM2019 is off to a great start.
@pumpkinhead Feb 1

@acousticmaddie Feb 1

@crimulus Jan 31

Hi Dutch -- also glad to see you're back. Here's to another go!
@billgcaldwell Jan 31

Hey Dutch, here I am. I've been enjoying "Getting There". Can't wait to see what you come with in the next month (and year).
@moonshadow Jan 30
