In 1999, Vohs-Demann shifted from opera to contemporary music. She began focusing more on her passion for writing and performing her own original songs. Since then, she has toured the Midwest as a solo performer and has been the lead vocalist for numerous rock bands. Cassandra currently performs regularly with her band, Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band, as a solo artist and is asked to collaborate regularly with other talented area musicians. She also performs regularly in Nashville Writer's Rounds while also a member of ASCAP and The Nashville Songwriters Association. Cassandra's mission statement: "Believe in what is possible..." It is her passion and soul's work to share music and inspire growth.
Siobhan Cottone commented on Cassandra and her extensive talents, "Cassandra is an amazing woman with very special talents. Her voice is beautifully unique and the music/lyrics she creates are filled with passion and meaningful messages. Cassandra shares her talents her to create impactful moments and experiences. I highly recommend attending a performance with Cassandra Vohs-Demann."

Hegner's first solo album, 254, is a suite of songs emphasizing meaningful lyrics and hypnotic melodies. The smooth, dreamy vocals invite the listener to share in his musical journey through love, loss, faith, inspiration, and reflections on life.
