Cassidy's original musical offerings are truly inventive!"

As frontman to Nat Cassidy & the Nines, Nat has written and recorded three albums of original material. With the Nines and/or with bands such as The Kites and n.b.

ALSO, for a limited time, here's a free download/stream of Nat's epic song cycle, "Sparks Will Fly," which premiered at CAPSLOCK Theatre's SEX WITH ROBOTS FESTIVAL in October 2013. 
"The show opens with a fantastic musical prologue courtesy of Nat Cassidy.  He sets up the evening perfectly with his soulful tune about a lifetime of robot love titled Sparks Will Fly.  Indeed they did."
- Richard Hinojosa, NY Theatre Now

"The evening began with an epic folk ballad from Nat Cassidy—of Nat Cassidy and the Nines—about the forbidden love of man and machine. If you’re hoping the words 'love' and 'Asimov' are used in a rhyming couplet, well, buddy, you’ve found your song! Honestly that wasn’t something I knew I needed it until it came out of Cassidy’s mouth—now I’m not sure how I lived without it."
- Leah Schnelbach, Tor

"Cassidy’s Sparks Will Fly ... draws on the rustic future of mid-20th-century cybernetic chic, in a tale of a lonely man who engineers suburban bliss the only way it can really never go wrong, by literally building a family. Sung in a catalogue of cocktail-croon voices to the original locomotive techno of blues and folk, it’s a small masterwork of the human mind making of others what it will."
- Adam McGovern, Fanchild
And here are two videos of an adorably young Nat playing at the Knitting Factory in TriBeCa:

Nat's currently at work writing and recording the Nines' third album, currently entitled Words of Whiskey--and, goddammit, it's looking like there's enough material to spill over into a fourth album, as well--but he's also been slowly rerecording/remastering his back catalogue. So at the moment, full albums aren't available for purchase. BUT! In the meantime, you can download a "greatest hits" collection of some of Nat's favorites (including live tracks and a few covers) for free! Just click on the photo directly below.
