Back in the day, girls wanted to marry him, parents returned toys just to buy his albums, and Hardy Boys reruns were a family tradition. Decades later, Shaun Cassidy still knows how to turn a room into a time machine. But now, he is doing it with silver hair that suits him just fine.
At 66, Cassidy isn’t just sitting on old fame. He’s on the road, singing and storytelling his way across the U.S. in a 50-city tour, The Road to Us. It’s more than music; it’s a full-circle moment for fans who grew up watching him on TV and playing his records on a loop.

At a recent stop in Philadelphia’s City Winery, Cassidy stood on stage in a sharp suit, guitar in hand, performing a stripped-down version of Da Do Ron Ron. A fan posted a video on TikTok, and the comments poured in. People shared memories of childhood Christmases, grade school crushes, and passing down Hardy Boys episodes to their own kids.
In one post, a fan wrote, “I told my mom to take back my Barbie Dream House so I could get Shaun’s Under Wraps album instead.” Another said, “When I was 6, I told my teacher I wanted to be Shaun Cassidy’s wife.” He might not look exactly like the heartthrob from teen magazines, but Cassidy still has that charm. The crowd sang along, grinning like it was 1977 again.
Shaun Cassidy has transitioned from teen idol to storytelling star
Cassidy shared that “The Road to Us is first about fun, then about connection, be it in a concert hall or at the kitchen table, bringing people together to laugh, cry, or blast out some hit songs.”
Outside of music, Cassidy also made a name for himself behind the scenes on TV. He’s produced shows like American Gothic, Invasion, and more recently, New Amsterdam, which ended in 2023. When he’s not writing or touring, he helps run My First Crush, a family wine label that donates part of its profits to fight child hunger.
