Following in the footsteps of popular music acts such as Kid Rock and 3 Doors Down are Cassy and Alyssa Gaddis, two sisters with a strong background in music and theater. Kid Rock and 3 Doors Down both recorded music and filmed performances for the Army National Guard. Now, the two Springfield girls have become the new faces of the National Guard music campaign.
In May 2008, Alyssa Gaddis, 13, wrote the song “The Price of Peace,” a military inspired song where Alyssa speaks of the love and support for soldiers in the military and their deployment. The song was sponsored by State Farm and recorded in Nashville, TN. The song instantly got the attention of the National Guard and the music video idea was born. The girls are lifelong military kids, both born at Scott Air Force Base, making the song’s message very important to them.
Just teenagers but already Nashville Recording Artists, these girls are no strangers to entertaining. They have been involved with concert and the theater circuit in Central IL for over 7 years. Cassy weaves her harmony around Alyssa's melodies creating that incredible vocal blend that only comes from that God given sibling harmony. These young ladies sing from the heart pouring their emotions in every word. Their love for singing comes through every note with a passion that verberates through the hearts of everyone who hears them. These humble young ladies live to take the stage and share the joy of music with the crowd. Their joy is in seeing the smiles of those they perform for. The Gaddis Sisters represent the integrity and genuine humility of much needed role models for today’s young audiences. At the same time they entertain the mature audiences with their amazing performance. Cassy and Alyssa deliver their own unique style and sound that is fresh and inspiring.
The girls have opening crdeits for Eric Church, Gary Sinese, Lee Greenwood and have a whole list of upcoming performances and appearances. Other performance credits include Live Nation Productions, Fox Productions, Can You Duet, FLW Outdoors, and many more.
Cassy and Alyssa don’t have any other siblings but enjoy taking care of their singing Basset Hound “Roofus”.
