Jason Cassidy, Montgomery Gentry and 38 Special at the Missouri State Fair [PHOTOS]
I had a couple of duties throughout Saturday (August 11) that I like to call the perks of the job. I hung out in the Bud Tent to introduce Jason Cassidy at the 2 p.m. show. Even though he was running a little bit behind since he had a late night in Wichita, he played an assortment of music from Montgomery Gentry to Jamey Johnson, and then music from his new CD on A Blake Records, My Redemption. He shared a story during the set that the title track was that he got away from going to church and then sometime when he met his wife, he came back to the church. He got a good round of applause for that and also the set he put on. If you missed out on him, you can see him play again today (Sunday, August 12) at 2 and 6 p.m.
