CASSANDRA SOCIALLY SPARKED
“Cassandra Kubinski is a rarity. She’s a talented singer/songwriter working in a tradition very similar to the legendary solo artists of the early to mid-1970s. She proves that the art form is not only alive and well, but that it is still capable of being transcendent.” – Billy Joel
