Cassidy Waring

Cassidy Waring is a queer Vancouver-based artist who transforms her struggles into raw, indie folk songs that resonate with uncompromising honesty, sharp wit, and vivid storytelling. As a survivor of Complex PTSD, her vulnerability on stage is a cornerstone of her performances, where she shares candid reflections on trauma, grief, relationships, and therapy.

Her debut album, Lonesome Reunion, produced by Jonathan Anderson, was released in November 2021 and introduced her unique blend of poignant lyricism and intimate storytelling. Her upcoming sophomore album, set for release in April 2025, delves deeper into her experience with complex trauma. Co-produced by Sam Lynch, this album promises to continue her legacy of raw emotional exploration. Cassidy is also the subject of a 45-minute Telus Originals documentary, set to premiere in Spring 2025, which follows her journey of healing through music and honest conversations. Cassidy is devoted to creating safe spaces where people can heal and connect through art, inspiring her community by openly sharing her own healing journey.
