CassiRaye is an Americana singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and visual artist based in the Appalachian foothills of Charles Town, West Virginia. Blending folk, indie, blues, and atmospheric country influences, her work is rooted in raw storytelling, emotional honesty, and human connection. Known for her smoky vocal tone and intimate stage presence, she creates immersive performances that move fluidly between softness and intensity.

Performing on guitar, ukulele, mountain dulcimer, and hand drum, CassiRaye weaves together original music and soulful reinterpretations across generations and genres. Her performances carry themes of longing, resilience, grief, sensuality, hope, and the beauty of ordinary life.

Alongside her music, Cassi is the creator of Oyster Eye Design, an interactive face and body art experience offering professional face painting, henna, hair tinsel, temporary tattoos, and creative festival adornment for all ages. With a whimsical yet grounded approach, Oyster Eye Design brings color, imagination, and meaningful human connection to festivals, community events, weddings, and gatherings throughout the DMV and Appalachian region. Whether performing music beneath string lights, painting children at a community festival, or creating immersive artistic experiences, CassiRaye’s work is guided by authenticity, warmth, and the belief that art has the power to make people feel more alive, connected, and at home in themselves.
