JACK CASSIDY

My name is Jack and I’m a versatile musician with broad experience, bringing my diverse talents as a trumpeter, keyboardist, and vocalist to genres ranging from jazz to world music. While based in Chicago, I’ve performed worldwide on stages and in studios on long-term band commitments and last minute sit-in’s, and I love meeting and playing with new musicians.

I’ve had the incredible opportunity to tour the world, record, and perform with Junior Wells, Van Morrison, Grover Washington Jr., Lou Rawls, Buddy Guy, The Mighty Dells, jazz artists Bob Mintzer and Jimmy Haslip of the Yellowjackets, and Mike Stern, among many others. I’ve also performed for Her Royal Highness Princess Ann of Great Britain, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Billy Eckstein, and Jaco Pastorius. My band, SYMBIA, has opened for Ziggy Marley, The Gypsy Kings, Hiram Bullock, and Special EFX.

I’ve had a lifelong love for music and feel honored to be able to live out my passion every day.
