1. Dan Cavicchia - AKA 'Casablanca'

Three Songs that Saved You?

We were all pretty nervous while preparing for our first real guest interview until we jumped in. Dan was so enthusiastic for this project. Such a talented man and wide open to share his experiences. He tells his stories with generosity and courageous vulnerability, while also talking about some of the deepest parts of the queer experience: open relationships, shame, promiscuity and HIV. His songs explore what it means to be so vulnerable in an uncertain world.

Casablanca's music matters, for all that it stands for. Anthemic songs, bold and extremely catchy. Hear them in the episode and check him out on Spotify and YouTube. What his intentional art delivers is worthy of everyone’s attention.
