Michael Cassidy-Average Soul (Mangalananda)
 Michael was born in Manchester, NH U.S.A. His mother was a singer and his grandmother a published songwriter. Traveling all over America and Europe with his military Dad formed Michael's eclectic spirit.
Early-on he liked the surfing sounds of The Ventures and Dwayne Eddie. Later his tastes expanded to the finger-styles of Chet Atkins and Jose Feliciano. "Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and Leonard Cohen inspired me to express myself with words, and my Dad's jazz collection had some influence on the harmonic structure of my compositions."
His songs are reflections and descriptive stories driven by thoughtfulness, humor, and emotion. Some of the themes that frame these songs are loss and gain, self-deception, freedom, and true love. His web site is www.averagesoul.net.
