About Cass Dillon

Cass Dillon's first major release was written by Billy Joel and titled "Christmas in Fallujah". Joel wrote the song after receiving many letters from military service members serving in Iraq but chose not to perform it because he "thought it should be somebody young, about a soldier's age." Dillon came to Joel's attention through his longtime musical director Tommy Byrnes and artist manager Stefano DiBenedetto with whom Dillon had been working Cass is a multi-instrumentalist and producer as well as an acclaimed songwriter who recently was chosen by Billboard Magazine as one of their favorite unsigned songwriters. Lately, he has produced several studio records of different genres due for release next year along with several songs used in films and TV. Cass's latest song for film can be heard in the new romantic comedy "My Man is a Loser" starring John Stamos and Michael Rapaport, directed by Mike Young, which is expected to hit theaters early 2014. Cass also has a budding acting career. You can catch him playing a supporting role in the new film "Song One", starring Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway, also due to hit theaters in early 2014. Cass Dillon released a new single "I Love You" The single, which was inspired by the passing of his longtime manager's father, has the charm of raw Americana folk, a warm intimate indie production presence, and the melodic and lyrical hook of a hit pop song. Its immediate release has been pulling the heart strings and capturing the eyes and ears of listeners, quickly catching the attention of local and national radio; the single "I Love You" was first played in Philadelphia on the renowned WXPN. "This song means a lot to me, so it's amazing to hear that it's already touched a lot of other people too", Cass said, "It's such a simple message, to say 'I Love You' but it's something that sometimes gets lost in the everyday madness and distractions around us, that we forget the true power and meaning of the words - maybe this is a song that can help people remember". Cass Dillon released his new EP Oregon Road- summer 2015. * * * * * For more information, please contact: Claire Mercuri Mobile: (917) 940-2499 Claire.Mercuri@gmail.com IM: clairemercuri Management: Stefano DiBenedetto OCD Music Group Stefano@ocdmusicgroup.com * * * * * INTERESTS: Good vibes & grand journeys...
